33,987 people took the pledge

An estimated 8 million dogs and cats enter animal shelters in the U.S. each year, and approximately 4 million – or 11,000 each day – are euthanized. PetSmart Charities strives to bring attention to the availability of pets at shelters and rescue groups and to the benefits of pet adoption.

Pet adoption is a critical step toward ending needless euthanasia. We partner with thousands of animal welfare organizations in the U.S. and Canada to help support their efforts in finding lifelong, loving homes for homeless pets.

    Thanks again for supporting the fight to end pet homelessness, now that you've taken the pledge don't forget to invite your friends! PetSmart Charities is funding a new program called Fostering 4 Rock Stars that aims to double the number of kittens that animal welfare groups can save. The program, which is managed by the Cat Adoption Team, advocates for pre-adopting kittens before they're spayed or neutered.

    Thanks again for supporting the fight to end pet homelessness, now that you've taken the pledge don't forget to invite your friends! PetSmart Charities is funding a new program called Fostering 4 Rock Stars that aims to double the number of kittens that animal welfare groups can save. The program, which is managed by the Cat Adoption Team, advocates for pre-adopting kittens before they're spayed or neutered. It's a "shelter without walls" concept: the kitten remains in foster care until their surgery, after which their new family takes them home. The kittens never return to the shelter, boosting their chances of staying healthy. Learn more about this and other programs on the PetSmart Charities blog.
