Since 1999, the Petco Foundation has been dedicated to supporting initiatives that save lives of pets and improve their welfare. By partnering with animal welfare organizations and Petco stores nationwide, they focus on adoption, medical care, spay and neuter services, pet cancer research, and more, aiming to make the biggest possible impact on animal welfare.
The Petco Foundation's grant program is designed to support a wide range of animal welfare initiatives. The foundation prioritizes investments in organizations that demonstrate success, accountability, and effective use of funds toward their missions. Their grant-making approach emphasizes support for spay and neuter clinics, full-service low-cost providers, and Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs, reflecting a commitment to improving access to care for pets. They seek to fund organizations that set high standards in saving animal lives and are dedicated to maximizing the impact of their investments in animal welfare.
