Pets First Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Haruhiko Sakamoto; hereinafter "our Group"), which operates under the philosophy of "Pets always come first," will host an adoption event themed around "interaction" on July 20, 2026 (Mon, Holiday) at Pet Care & Adoption Center Nikko, a pet care facility operated by our Group. ■ Pets First Group's Pet Adoption Support Activities Guided by our management philosophy, "Pets always come first," Pets First Group takes full responsibility for every pet we handle throughout their lives. For pets that develop health conditions prior to sale, we provide treatment until they fully recover or reach a stable condition manageable with ongoing care, then place them with adoptive families who fully understand their medical needs. We also offer intermediary services for customers who, due to unavoidable circumstances, can no longer continue pet ownership. Additionally, since 2013, as part of our CSR initiative "Pets always come first Project," we have continuously supported the adoption of dogs and cats rescued from animal shelters and animal protection centers. Until they find adoptive families, these pets receive loving daily care from dedicated staff at Pet Care & Adoption Center Nikko. To help these pets find families who understand their needs and are ready to offer lifelong love and care, we regularly host adoption events. ■ Details of the July 20 (Mon, Holiday) “Interaction” Adoption Event The upcoming adoption event will focus on "interaction," aiming to let visitors experience the joy and warmth of living with pets through direct engagement with animals residing at our facility. On the day, our care staff and veterinarians will provide detailed, individual explanations about each pet’s personality and health status. ▲ Dedicated interaction area for dogs ▲ Dedicated interaction area for cats Date and Time July 20, 2026 (Mon, Holiday) 10:30–14:00 Venue Pet Care & Adoption Center Nikko (32
