Mission Moments

with Phil

Why is the human-animal bond important?
It's a situation where both humans and their pets experience greater overall well-being due to their symbiotic relationship.

How has your pet changed your life?
As a child, learning about the cycle of life teaches you to have a greater appreciation for it.

What makes you most proud of working at PetSmart Charities?
The opportunity to improve the lives of people and their pets.

What absolutely excites you about the future of animal welfare?
Data shows that past efforts around adoptions and spay/neuter have been successful, allowing us to evolve and shift our focus towards other aspects of animal welfare.
