GREEN COVE SPRINGS – Did a pet you adopted from Clay County Animal Services change your life?

Petco Love and Clay County Animal Services want to hear about it. Submit your greatest Love Story showcasing how your adopted pet or pets changed your life, and the Shelter at Clay County Animal Services could win as much as $100,000 to support their ongoing life-saving efforts in our community. The winning submitter will also be eligible for other great prizes from Petco.

Your submitted Love Story should demonstrate how the adopted pet(s) significantly changed your life for the better and should be a celebration of the love you share with them. Stories can range from the simplest things that bring joy to life every day, to one-of-a-kind, extraordinary stories.

All story submissions should be 500 words or less and include at least four high-quality photos; one photo of the pet or pets by themselves, and one photo of the adopter and their pet(s) together. Additional photos can include pets with the whole family or a photo that further supports the story.

Great photos can tell powerful stories, so submit photos that express the essence of yours. AVI and MP4 video submissions are also welcomed. Petco will only consider Love Stories for pets that are currently living. Love Story submitters must be 18 years of age or older.

Shelter staff will choose the two best Clay County Love Stories for the contest submission. The deadline to submit your Love Story to Clay County Animal Services is Oct. 24, so don’t wait.

Send your epic Love Story and four photos today to ClayAdoptions@ClayCountyGov.com.

Pets change our lives just as much as we change theirs. Owning a pet can relieve stress, lower blood pressure, provide physical comfort and emotional support and even medical assistance. There is no limit to the joy and comfort pets bring us. You rescued them, now tell us how they rescued you.
