In 2026, PetSmart Charities is investing $3 million to support animal welfare organizations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico to help them build and grow strong in-store adoption programs.
From medical care and enrichment to safe housing and transportation to PetSmart stores, every step plays an important role in preparing pets for adoption.
These grants help make sure pets get the care they need while they await adoption and create more chances for pets to meet their loving families.
We’re proud to celebrate the organizations selected as our 2026 Adoption Prep grantees:
