■ Pets First Group's Pet Rehoming Activities
Based on its management philosophy 'Pets always come first,' Pets First Group is committed to taking responsibility for all pets it is involved with until the very end.
For pets that develop illnesses before sale, treatment is provided until they are fully recovered or their health can be maintained with continuous care. They are then handed over to adoptive families who understand their condition. We also act on behalf of customers who, for unavoidable reasons, find it difficult to continue raising their pets, assisting them in finding new homes. Furthermore, as part of our CSR activity 'Pets always come first Project,' we have continuously conducted adoption activities for rescued dogs and cats taken from public health centers and animal welfare centers since 2013.
These pets are lovingly cared for by staff at 'Pet Care & Adoption Center Nikko' until they find adoptive families.
To connect these pets with families who will understand them and shower them with lifelong love, we regularly hold adoption events.

■ Comment from Pet Care & Adoption Center Nikko Care Staff
Yuri Yamaki, Pet Care & Adoption Center Nikko
Among the animals at our facility who need a family, some are not in perfect health. However, merely hearing a diagnosis can make their condition seem heavier than it is, often making it difficult for them to find a family. Many of these animals can live happily and normally with proper care and medication. At the adoption event, veterinarians and care staff will directly explain the symptoms and precautions for each illness. I believe this is an opportunity for people to learn that these animals can live more energetically than they might expect. Furthermore, some animals may appear energetic but have severe conditions. 'Precisely for this reason,' we await families who wish to welcome them into their homes.
We sincerely look forward to your participation.
