PetSmart, The Adopt Spot, is where people save pets and pets
save people. Since its founding in 1987, PetSmart recognized the
pet homelessness problem and made the decision to never sell dogs
or cats. To help end pet homelessness and save lives, PetSmart
joins PetSmart Charities®, PetSmart CharitiesTM of Canada and
nearly 3,000 local animal welfare organizations across North
America on a range of powerful adoption events in PetSmart
stores.
PetSmart is a leader in ending pet homelessness through in-store
adoptions that happen every day in its stores, and through National
Adoption Weekends, held four times a year, where more than 20,000
pets find forever homes in a single weekend. Each year, millions of
pets enter shelters across North America and some 3 million
healthy, adoptable pets are euthanized.
Every PetSmart store, including this Garfield store, builds
long-lasting relationships with local animal welfare organizations
to utilize its stores as adoption centers. PetSmart and its
adoption partners have reached a significant milestone – 7 million
pets adopted since 1994! For every 30 seconds a PetSmart store is
open a pet’s life is saved, totaling about 1,400 lives saved every
day. In the last year, 17,979 pets’ lives were saved in New Jersey
through adoptions at PetSmart.
