Pets First Group CSR Activity Report: April 2026

Pets First Holdings Co., Ltd. issues the 'Pets First CSR Activity Report' to share details of the CSR activities conducted under the philosophy 'Pets always come first.' This report highlights the adoption events regularly held at 'NICO PET,' a comprehensive pet specialty store operated by the group's parent company, Arclands Corporation. Since these adoption events began in February 2026, they have welcomed over 500 groups across three locations, leading to 9 pets finding new families. ■ Pets First Group's Adoption Activities In addition to the adoption of rescued dogs and cats as part of its CSR activities, the group works to find homes for pets requiring continuous care due to illness or other unavoidable circumstances. These pets wait for new families at the 'Pet Care & Adoption Center Nikko,' a spacious and nature-rich facility, where they undergo medical treatment and socialization. The group has historically connected pets with families through regular adoption events centered at the Nikko facility. Pet Care & Adoption Center Nikko is a dedicated pet care facility operated by Pets First. Opened in 2007 in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture, it serves as a multi-purpose complex for adoption agency services and lifelong care, aiming to provide happy lives for pets regardless of their background. It features a vast 30,000-tsuibu site with hygienic facilities, including an examination room where veterinarians provide medical care. ■ Report on Adoption Events at NICO PET Hachioji Tama Art University, Kasukabe, and Misato Stores To find families for rescue pets as soon as possible, the group and Arclands began holding adoption events this year at NICO PET stores, which attract many pet-interested visitors. To date, events have been held at 'NICO PET Hachioji Tama Art University Store' (February 23, 2026), 'NICO PET Kasukabe Store' (April 26, 2026), and 'NICO PET Misato Store' (May 24, 2026). Through these three events, 9 dogs and cats have successfully found new families. ■ Future Initiatives We will continue to host community-based adoption events through collaboration with NICO PET stores to provide more opportunities for pets waiting for new families. Regular adoption events will also continue at the Pet Care & Adoption Center Nikko. Please check our official website for the latest updates.
