Adopt your forever friend

PetSmart Charities National Adoption Week and Adopt Joy® events help pets from local shelters and rescues find forever homes all year long.

One adoption every 38 seconds that a PetSmart store is open

Through our in-store adoption programs, we work with local shelters and rescues to help adoptable pets find loving families.
