High-Five! Five Million Pets Adopted Through PetSmart Charities® Adoption Centers

PetSmart Charities® is celebrating an amazing milestone. A 5-year-old rescued Husky named Dodge has found his forever home – and is the 5 millionth pet adopted from a PetSmart Charities adoption center. Please join us in celebrating Dodge’s journey and giving a high-five to all of the pets who have found homes through PetSmart Charities Adoption Centers.

Though we are closer than ever to achieving our goal of ending pet homelessness, the journey isn’t over yet. Millions more pets need our help. Read on to learn more about how with your help, our 5 millionth pet celebration can help save 10,000 more homeless pets. There are many ways you can help PetSmart Charities save more homeless pets while celebrating our 5 millionth adoption:

Meet Dodge & the Little family: A Florida Husky’s journey

Dodge’s former family had a young child with medical issues. Caring for both the child and Dodge became too much for the family, so they took him to Sad Sac (Save-a-Dog, Save-a-Cat) Animal Rescue in Lake Worth, Florida. A Siberian Husky in Florida requires special care. So, Dodge was taken to an adoption event at PetSmart® store #336 in Boynton Beach, FL, with the hopes of finding him a perfect match. George Little, a retired U.S. Marine and “Husky aficionado,” saw Dodge and immediately fell in love. George, his fiancée, Tracy, and their children, Gregory and Kennedy, welcomed Dodge to their family with open arms – even preparing a “Husky Man Cave” for the guys to watch the big game together!
