Be sure to mark your calendars for the PetSmart Charities National Adoption Weekend, September 14-16 at your neighborhood PetSmart store! This event brings together 2,000+ animal welfare organizations with a variety of adoptable pets in need of homes. Both purebreds and mixed breeds are available for adoption, as well as cats and dogs looking for their lifelong home. Every adoption benefits participating local shelters and rescue agencies which receive adoption-reward grants from PetSmart Charities for every pet they adopt during the event.

Visit the adoption center inside any PetSmart store in the U.S., Canada or Puerto Rico from 9 am- 9 pm on Friday, Sept. 14 and Saturday, Sept. 15; and 10 am – 6 pm Sunday, Sept. 16. To find the PetSmart store nearest you and to learn about the adoption center’s fees and guidelines, visit PetSmartCharities.org/adoption.

All of PetSmart Charities’ programs are made possible through donations. You can contribute to programs that save lives by making a donation online. Find PetSmart Charities on Facebook at Facebook.com/savehomelesspets.
