During her senior year of college, Sloane fostered 10 dogs, but little Tinkerbell from Arizona Animal Welfare League left a forever mark on her heart. Rescued from a severe situation, the tiny chihuahua was scared of the world around her. But with patience and a safe place to land, Tinkerbell slowly started to shine. Her goofy personality came out, her trust grew, and Sloane got to watch her become a dog again. 🐾 Not long after, Tinkerbell found her family at PetSmart. 🥹 This National Adoption Week, July 20 - 26, you can help a pet just like Tinkerbell. Stop by your local PetSmart and meet the pet who could change your life forever.

An estimated 30 million pets live in homes experiencing food insecurity. 💙🐾 We're grateful to partner with United Food Bank and Feeding America to help provide both pet food and human food to families who need it most. Together, we're helping support every member of the family.

This kitten season’s happiest foster fail. 🧡 When our partner, Feral Cat Warriors INC rescued little Nemo, they knew he deserved a second chance. His foster mom, Tammy, stepped in, giving him love, comfort, and a safe place to heal while he waited for his loving family. 🐾 But sometimes, the perfect match is closer than you think. Enter Dr. Taylor, Feral Cat Warriors’ very own vet, who completely fell for this orange sweetheart and officially welcomed him home. Now renamed Cheddar, he’s thriving with his new family and adorable sisters. 🥹 Thank you, Tammy, for fostering with such a big heart. And thank you, Dr. Taylor, for giving Cheddar the loving home every cat deserves.

This Fourth of July, we're celebrating freedom, second chances, and the incredible bond between a Veteran and his service dog. 🇺🇸 Last year, Phoenix was a shelter dog waiting for a second chance. Today, he's graduated from K9s For Warriors and is officially paired with his Veteran, Brent. That transformation was made possible by donor support. Through the generosity of PetSmart and Treats Rewards members, Phoenix received the specialized training that prepared him to become a life-changing service dog. Every step of his journey, from shelter dog to service dog, was powered by people who chose to give. Brent shared, "I was really at the bottom, and I didn't see much hope for myself. I felt like I was hurting my family. Then I ran into another Veteran, and he had a dog. It just brings out love & emotions you haven't felt in a long time. I guarantee three weeks ago, you wouldn't have seen me crying." ❤️ Through our partnership with K9s For Warriors, donor support helps give shelter dogs like Phoenix a second chance while providing Veterans living with PTSD and other invisible wounds of war with a highly trained service dog and a new path forward. From a shelter kennel to a life of purpose, Phoenix's second chance is helping Brent find hope and healing. 🐾

This #WellnessWednesday, meet Mikasa. 🐈 When Mikasa, a 3-year-old cat, was diagnosed with a life-threatening pyometra infection, her owner feared the worst after being quoted $1,000–$4,000 for emergency surgery she couldn’t afford. Desperate to save her beloved cat, she came to Pawmetto Lifeline searching for hope. 💔 After reviewing Mikasa’s medical records, the veterinary team was able to provide the lifesaving surgery she urgently needed at a cost she could afford. Today, Mikasa is recovering happily at home with her family. With our support, organizations like Pawmetto Lifeline can provide more accessible, low-cost veterinary care, helping keep pets healthy, safe and with the people who love them most.

When Hurricane Milton hit, Helene Flaxbeard, Chief Development Officer for the American Red Cross Missouri-Arkansas Region, saw firsthand why pet-friendly shelters are so important. ❤️ For many families, if they can't bring their pets to safety, they may not evacuate at all. That's why PetSmart Charities and the American Red Cross are working together to help ensure more shelters can welcome pets, so families can focus on staying safe, together.
