Think Adoption First at PETCO

PETCO, the PETCO Foundation and Petfinder.com have teamed up with adoption agencies, rescue groups and humane societies across the country to create thousands of adoption opportunities. We encourage the purchase of animals only when all adoption options have failed.

And now, our new in-store Adoption Center makes adopting a homeless pet easier than ever! Just visit a store near you and be automatically connected to shelters and shelter partners in your area who can help match your pet needs with all types of homeless animals.

In addition to these new in-store Adoption Centers, PETCO and the PETCO Foundation sponsor adoption events in each of our stores and communities nationwide and hold fundraisers which raise millions of dollars each year to help homeless animals find permanent pet parents of their own.

Join us today and Think Adoption First. Together we will make a difference.
