National Foster a Pet Open House
2022-06-25 14:00 - 17:30 | Young-Williams Animal Village, 6400 Kingston Pike, Knoxville, TN, 37919, United States
Stop by our Animal Village for a fun, foster paw-ty! During our Foster a Pet Open House, you’ll have the opportunity to ask current fosters and staff all your foster questions, learn more about how fostering saves lives, visit with some of our foster pets and those waiting for fosters and have a little fun with our furry friends.
“Ending preventable euthanasia of shelter pets is possible today,” said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. “Data tells us that if we could encourage 2% more of the 85-million pet-owning households to foster just one pet a year, we can eliminate preventable euthanasia and save the lives of the 800,000 shelter animals at risk of euthanasia in the U.S. annually.”
But fostering can be serious fun, too. We are inviting the public to visit the shelter located at 6400 Kingston Pike, on Saturday, June 25 between 2:00 – 6:00 PM for an interactive foster meet-and-greet party for two-and four-legged friends. PetCo Love has provided goodies and giveaways for all those who attend our open house or share their #MyFosterBreakup story on social.
Throughout June, we are sharing the fun aspects of fostering while helping pet parents groove through their foster pet goodbyes. In fact, saying goodbye to foster pets – and the fear they’ll struggle giving the pet to a new family – is among the most-cited reasons why pet parents don’t foster.
Petco Love is taking a humorous approach to saying goodbye to foster pets by holding a #MyFosterBreakUp story contest featuring Foster Breakup Kits giveaways and a curated playlist to help foster pet parents through their goodbyes.
Kits include breakup essentials: cozy, festive socks from BOBS from Skechers, a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, Kleenex, the official Petco Love Foster Breakup Spotify Playlist, and a foster tee that reminds you that “Foster Pets are Here for A Fun Time, Not a Long Time.” Foster parents can enter to win by sharing their breakup letter from their foster pet on Instagram using the hashtag #MyFosterBreakUp from June 1 –30 and even win $10,000 in lifesaving funds for the organization they foster from.

Meet Susie
After an accident (falling off a big horse) and a 6 hour back surgery, my doctor told me to take Pilates classes. I took my first class in 2005. My back is in better shape now than prior to my accident.
I realized that I love Pilates so much that I wanted to teach it to others, so they may benefit the way I have. Since I am already a teacher (elementary education), the teaching part has been an easy transition. The movements we do are also easy to teach since I have been doing them so long. I started my teacher training in 2012 and began teaching mat classes in 2013. I started my apparatus training in August 2018 and hope to complete it within a year!
My posture, balance and body is in much better shape now than it ever has been. I no longer have the aches and pains of age (but do get some when I do not work out regularly)! I hope you decide to join me in a class soon!

She loves teaching yoga to help others receive these benefits.

Mary June currently leads Mindful Noon Flow classes at Breezeway:
Mindful Noon Flow – Noon on Monday and Wednesday — This class uses the linkage of movement with breath to create a mindful full body yoga experience. Each class centers on a specific theme to help practitioners find that mind-body connection and cultivate focus during the practice. Examples of themes explored in class include more mentally challenging practices, such as balance; to more physical practices such as working with poses for maintaining a healthy back or building upper body strength; to energetics, such as working with chakras. There is lots of variety in this class and something for everyone as we focus on cultivating and maintaining the health of our minds, bodies, and spirits. Some yoga experience is helpful but not required. Learn more here.
