Are you ready to feel loved up this Valentine's Weekend? Your local SPCA would love to introduce you to a couple of lonely souls falling over themselves to nuzzle their way into your heart.

The SPCA and Hill's Pet Nutrition will be celebrating their annual Second Chance for Love adopt-a-thon on the 12th and 13th February in SPCA centres nationwide. Hill's Pet Nutrition is the exclusive feeding sponsor to the SPCA, providing premium nutrition for every animal in every SPCA centre as they await their special someone.

Second Chance for Love is a great community day out, and a fantastic opportunity to meet the hardworking Cupids at your local SPCA and learn more about the amazing job they do. You can spend time getting to know the animals in the centre, until you find your soul mate – or they find you! Visit your local SPCA during the Second Chance for Love adopt-a-thon and be in to win spot prizes and giveaways of Hill's pet food. If you're lucky enough to fall in love and adopt your new family member, enter the draw to win a year's supply of Hill's Science Diet™ pet food by visiting the website at www.secondchanceforlove.co.nz and sharing your adoption story.

The annual adopt-a-thon has been a success in previous years, with the 2010 event seeing nearly 30 SPCA centres participating, and over 500 lucky animals finding their forever homes. This year, 34 SPCA's will play match-maker, with the aim of finding loving homes for even more animals.

If you aren't bitten by the love-bug this time around, you can still visit the website to make a donation, and vote for your favourite SPCA – the centre with the most votes will win a $1,000 donation from Hill's.

Join in the fun at your local SPCA this Valentine's Weekend; you may just meet the love of your life.
