Tree of Hope

Tree of Hope is the PETCO Foundation’s annual holiday fundraising campaign and continues to be the largest source of revenue for the Foundation and the many local groups it assists. Donations collected in stores during Tree of Hope go directly to animal welfare groups in the areas the donations are made so that they may continue their work in making better lives for animals through adoption, spay/neuter, and training.

Last year more than $4 million was raised during Tree of Hope. This has been a tough couple of years for the animals and our non profit partners and they are grateful for your continued support and the priority that you've shown through your donations.

The recipient animal welfare organizations are selected by each of our 1,000 stores. Stores choose up to two of PETCO Foundation Charitable Partners per store. In this way, donations collected at the register stayed in the local community. On line partners were chosen as well and will benefit from collections of donations through this section of the site as well as in the check out area of the cart.

In 2009, PETCO PALS matched donations up to $100,000 for the total of all donations made in stores with a valid email address not previously provided.

Thank-you for your overwhelming support for the PETCO Foundation and thank-you for making these events a success in your community!
