(\"Pet Valu\") (TSX: PET), the leading Canadian specialty retailer of pet food and pet-related supplies, today, begins Pet Appreciation Month, its biggest, annual \"Companions for Change™\" initiative. For the month of June, over 600 stores in the Pet Valu family will be raising funds for Canadian animal organizations that provide critical support to local animals in need. On\n \n June 18\n \n and 19, many stores will host National Adoption Weekend to help find the right forever homes for homeless pets in their communities.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"Every day small, community-based animal charities make a tremendous difference to thousands of Canadian animals. Pet Valu created Pet Appreciation Month to support these hard-working organizations,\" says\n \n Tanbir Grover\n \n , Chief Marketing and Digital Officer. \"As one of the founding initiatives of \"Companions for Change™\", Pet Appreciation Month has helped our national charitable program raise close to\n \n $11 million\n \n over the last 11 years to help local pet rescues, shelters  and other important animal causes across\n \n Canada\n \n . During lockdowns, many community-based shelters and charities were unable to host vital in-person fundraising events so supporting these organizations is more critical than ever as they need to overcome months of fundraising challenges.\"\n \n \n From\n \n June 1 to 30\n \n , all Pet Valu stores including locations under its regional banners – Bosley's by Pet Valu\n \n ®\n \n , Paulmac's Pets\n \n ®\n \n , Tisol\n \n ®\n \n and Total Pet\n \n ®\n \n  ...
