PetSmart Charities has helped more than 11 million pets across the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico find loving homes through our in-store adoption program. But we’re just getting started! Bringing adoptable pets from local animal shelters into PetSmart stores for everyday adoptions and special events helps more pets find loving homes. These opportunities also build stronger relationships with pet lovers in communities across the country. Our Adoption Prep grants are designed to support PetSmart Charities Adoption Partners with building and sustaining their in-store adoption programs.
Adoption Prep grants help animal welfare organizations provide shelter, medical care and enrichment for adoptable pets until they find their people. The funding also helps sustain shelter operations to maintain their adoption programs in PetSmart stores long term.
The following organizations in the US and Puerto Rico received Adoption Prep grants from PetSmart Charities, totaling $5M in 2025:
