Anyone who’s ever been simultaneously single and had a
pet knows that animals tend me much more reliable — and far more willing
to hang out under covers with bedhead in favor of an expensive
excursion — than most romantic human counterparts. Each February just
before V-Day, there’s a “super adoption” weekend, where you can
conveniently meet hundreds of furry cats, dogs and rabbits waiting to be
someone’s a cuddle-buddy.
Think of it as a giant speed-dating event,
except, well, way better. Go to myfurryvalentine.com to start checking
out dating profiles; you might fall in love before you even go. As if
the animals weren’t entertainment enough, there will also be
family-friendly activities like face painting, balloon artists,
caricatures, live entertainment and food and drink. All adopted animals
go home with a free goody bag full of pet supplies, treats, toys and a
free flexi retractable leash. 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9; 11 a.m.-4 p.m.
Sunday, Feb. 10. flexi USA, Inc. Distribution Center, 8494 Firebird Drive, West
Chester. myfurryvalentine.com.
