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 Charities® of Canada and more
than 3,500 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 as many as
30,000-plus pets find forever homes in a single weekend event. Each
year, millions of pets enter shelters across North America and some
3 million healthy, adoptable pets are euthanized.
Every PetSmart store, including this store in Opelika, 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 – more than
8 million pets adopted since 1994! Nearly two out of every 10 pet
adoptions in North America are facilitated at a PetSmart store.
