How Adoption Centres Work
Adoption Partners
Our centres feature adoptable pets from local animal welfare groups. When you adopt with us, you're making a direct impact in your community.
In-Store Adoptions
Select PetSmart stores feature Everyday Dog & Cat Adoption Centres complete with a meet-and-greet playroom. The centres also help free up space in shelters, saving more lives.
Adoption Events
Pets can also be adopted during adoption events including our signature National Adoption Weekend, four times per year.
7-Day Cat Adoption Centres
Cat Adoptions
Nearly every PetSmart store features a Cat Adoption Centre where kittens and cats can be adopted during store hours, 7 days a week.
Save a Life, Adopt a Pet
Together, we've helped save over 8 million pets through adoption. Join us to keep the momentum going during PetSmart Charities National Adoption Weekend events at your local PetSmart store.
