PetSmart’s goals for the Adoption Program are to:

• Be a partner in reducing the number of homeless pets
• Become the nation’s destination and resource for successful, superior pet adoptions
• Educate customers about the responsibility of becoming a Pet Parent and initiate the development of lifelong, loyal PetSmart customers.

To fulfill this commitment, PetSmart:

• Does not sell cats or dogs
• Donates valuable retail space inside each of our stores where our Adoption Partners can showcase pets that are in need of homes
• Provides supplies for our Multiple Day Cat & Dog Adoption Programs
• Partners with many dedicated animal welfare organizations, not only providing them with a venue to display their pets, but also providing valuable rewards and grant funding through PetSmart Charities
• Provides support for and hosts Spring & Fall National Adoption Weekend Events
• Hosts Annual Fundraisers:
  • Wish Tree Campaign - Pet Parents can conveniently and easily donate to homeless pets during the holidays by making a donation at check-out. All proceeds are then shared among the active in-store Adoption Partners.
  • Santa Claws Photo Promotion - For 3 weekends in December, Pet Parents and their pets can receive a holiday photo with Santa. Participating Adoption Partners receive a portion of all photo sales proceeds.

PetSmart and PetSmart Charities partner with more than 3,400 animal welfare agencies. As a result of these efforts and the work of our Adoption Partners we have assisted in saving the lives of more than 3 million pets.
