Adoption Partner Rewards

Finding loving homes for pets through your in-store adoption program can turn into financial rewards for your lifesaving mission.

Adoption Rewards

The more adoptions, the more opportunities there are to earn cash rewards and incentives.

Adoption Partner Rewards

  • The more pets you adopt through your in-store adoption program, the more rewards you earn annually, from $1,000 to $250,000.
  • All in-store adoptions must be processed through AME (Adoptions Made Easy)
  • Adoptions logged between February 1 and January 31 count toward the annual total
  • Reach a new threshold, and rewards increase; plus, keep your adoption fees
  • Rewards are paid monthly

K9 CA$H

  • To support dog adoptions in stores, partners can earn an additional $100 for every additional dog adoption over last year’s totals during Adopt Joy events
  • For example, if you processed 4 dog adoptions in August 2025, and 5 in August 2026, that’s an additional $100 in K9 cash, paid out the following month
  • Find your adoption totals from last year using the look-up tool here.
