Our team joined the C.A.R.E.4Paws team during one of their local clinics and saw the incredible impact they’re making in Oceano. At the clinic, 125 cats and dogs received walk-in services like vaccinations, and 23 pets received essential medical care, including spays and neuters! 🩺

Access to affordable veterinary care is crucial for helping families provide the care their pets need. By making services more accessible, clinics like these empower families to keep their beloved pets by their sides.

With partners like C.A.R.E.4Paws, we’re creating brighter futures for pets and their people across San Luis Obispo County and beyond! 💙🐾

Our partner, Ruthless Kindness, recently hosted a free veterinary clinic where they met a remarkable duo. ❤️

A devoted pet owner arrived seeking care for her pup, wearing a touching dog-themed shirt. It read: "my best friend", "comfort", "taught me the meaning of devotion", "told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being."

This beautiful bond between pet and owner is why we're passionate about keeping families together. Through our access to care grants and programs, we ensure pets can stay with their loved ones.

This holiday season, you can help us continue this vital work. Through December, PetSmart will match all donations to PetSmart Charities, up to $135,000. Your gift will support pets in need and help keep pets and their people together.

Four years ago, Agnes faced living alone for the first time after losing her son. That's when she met Sadie, a Maltese-poodle mix who would become her constant companion. 🐾

Thanks to our Meals on Wheels America Loves Pets grant program, Senior Citizens Inc. provides Agnes and Sadie with essential monthly pet food and supplies. This vital support helps them stay together, especially as Agnes faces challenges with independent living. 'Sometimes she knows when I feel bad before I do,' Agnes shares.

Over 1 in 5 seniors skip their own meals to feed their beloved pets. Through our partnership with Meals on Wheels America, we're making sure no senior has to make this heartbreaking choice.

How far can a little love go? Just ask Bruce! ❤️

In May 2024, a Furkids Midtown Atlanta volunteer stumbled upon Bruce, a tiny kitten with severely injured hind feet. They immediately helped him begin his path to recovery. 🐈‍

From day one, Bruce proved he was one special kitty. Even after going through so much, he still loved being cradled like a baby and gathering cuddles from staff. No wonder he became a shelter favorite!

But the best was yet to come. When a mom and her daughter walked into Furkids to meet Bruce, it was love at first purr! His gentle nature captured their hearts, and just like that, Bruce found his loving family.

This , you have the power to help write more stories like Bruce's. Now through December 31st, PetSmart will match all donations to PetSmart Charities dollar-for-dollar up to $135,000. Your gift supports amazing partners like Furkids, helping pets in need find their way home.

While visiting a shelter in Abilene, TX, our Adoptions Manager Kerri met Ruffles, a dog placed on the urgent list for kennel stress. During their time together, Kerri noticed Ruffles had an incredible drive to play with balls – a trait that's actually perfect for search and rescue work.

On a hunch, Kerri contacted the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation, an organization that trains shelter dogs to help find survivors during disasters.

The foundation immediately saw Ruffles' potential, and now this former shelter pup is training to save lives! Her new favorite game is finding hidden toys in barrels, which is actually teaching her the foundations of search and rescue work.

"Ruffles is such a fun dog and already a staff favorite!" shares Sylvia Stoney from the National Disaster Search Dog Foundation. After passing her evaluations with flying colors, Ruffles has officially been accepted as a disaster search canine candidate-in-training!

Sometimes the perfect second chance looks different than we imagine. For Ruffles, it was a life-saving career! 💫

When Minnie's dad was diagnosed with cancer, their world changed overnight. ❤️

During every step of his treatment, Minnie never left his side—staying next to his hospital bed for 36 straight hours. But as his health worsened, he made the most selfless choice—surrendering her to ensure she'd be cared for.

Through the Humane Society of Greater Niagara's boarding program funded by PetSmart Charities of Canada, Minnie stayed safe and cared for while her dad focused on his recovery. For 750 days, he carried her dog tags in his wallet and visited the shelter to see her from afar while he fought cancer. But this August, he finally received news of his cancer remission and went to bring Minnie home. 🏠

Now they're reunited, with a new home, a big backyard, and a love story that reminds us what the season of giving is truly all about.

From mobile clinics to low-cost services, we're working tirelessly to keep families together.

A year ago, Rory was in poor health when he arrived at Brandywine Valley SPCA. Today, he's thriving in his loving home. 🏡

When Rory’s mom first brought him home, Rory was still recovering from his past and needed time to open up. Now, his love is boundless.

His mom says, "Adopting Rory was the best decision I've ever made. He's taught me so much about life, patience, kindness, and unconditional love."

At PetSmart Charities, we’re honored to help create new beginnings like Rory's. Through adoption partner grants and our in-store adoption centers, we're matching pets with loving families every day.
