Adoption Events Celebrate Pets

Be prepared for wagging tails, wet noses and unconditional love when you attend a PetSmart Charities® Adoption Event.

Nearly every PetSmart® store has adoptable pets available each weekend. Many centers have both dogs and cats available. Please use our store locator to find a location near you. Be sure to call ahead to confirm availability.

Our additional Adoption Events provide great opportunities for potential adopters to see a wider variety of adoptable pets:

• National Adoption Weekends. On average, more than 15,000 pets find homes every time PetSmart Charities hosts a National Adoption Weekend.  Held 4 times a year, these events showcase adoptable pets in every PetSmart store in the United States and Canada, usually featuring several adoption organizations at each store.
  • February 16-18, 2018
  • May 18-20, 2018
  • September 14-16, 2018
  • November 9-11, 2018

• Community adoption events. PetSmart Charities provides grants that help team up many local adoption groups to feature a wide variety of adoptable pets all in one place. These events help save the lives of thousands of pets each year.
