“Joe’s Market Basket is happy to help connect families with dogs that were either strays or brought to the adoption agency because they were in need of a good home. Once a connection is made, it’s fun to see the excitement on the families faces when they get to take their new pet home,” said Jason Stevens, Owner of the Market Basket.
Adding to the entertainment, Market Basket is bringing other fuzzy friends to their Edwardsville location. Joe’s Market Basket will be working with Cindy’s Zoo, bringing a variety of barnyard animals to pet, feed and interact with. Stevens said, “Over the years, goats and camels are usually the kid’s favorite animals to see. This year we’re also offering a miniature pony. There are many photo-friendly opportunities so bring your camera!”
Hot cocoa and other refreshments will be available during the Petting Zoo and Adoption Event. Raffles and special savings will also be offered to customers visiting Joe’s Market Basket during this annual fall event.
