As Hurricane Idalia sweeps through our beloved state of Florida, PetSmart Charities wants our communities to know that we stand with you, shoulder to shoulder. We understand the challenges and uncertainties that come with such natural disasters, and we are fully committed to supporting our friends and neighbors during these trying times.

A Unified Effort: Collaborating with Disaster Response Partners

In the midst of this hurricane's impact, we are actively collaborating with both national and local disaster response partners. Our goal is simple: to ensure that animal welfare organizations in the path of Hurricane Idalia receive the utmost support and resources they need to care for pets and families affected by the storm.

At PetSmart Charities, we recognize the invaluable role that local organizations play in disaster response. Your dedication and tireless efforts in times of crisis are essential to the well-being of our communities. We are here to stand by your side and provide the assistance you need to continue your vital work.

Our Unwavering Dedication

In these challenging and uncertain times, our dedication to the welfare of pets and the families who love them remains unwavering. We understand that for many, pets are not just animals but beloved members of the family. It is our duty and privilege to help ensure their safety and well-being, especially during moments of crisis.

Commitment in Action: $20K in Relief Aid

As a testament to our commitment, PetSmart Charities has already committed $20,000 to our partners in relief aid. This funding will go directly toward supporting the essential work of local animal welfare organizations, ensuring they have the resources required to provide shelter, care, and assistance to pets and their families.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the countless individuals, organizations, and first responders who are working tirelessly to protect and assist our communities during Hurricane Idalia. Your dedication and compassion inspire us, and we are proud to stand beside you in this effort.

In the face of adversity, we find strength in unity. Together, we can weather this storm and emerge stronger on the other side. PetSmart Charities remains committed to supporting Florida communities and their beloved pets throughout the recovery process.
