At PETCO, we have always done everything we can to support animal welfare causes.
However, by the end of the 1990s, PETCO had grown so quickly, it became necessary to create an entirely new and separate organization to manage our hands-on community outreach programs and charitable endeavors.
In February, 1999, the PETCO Foundation was established to promote a wide variety of educational and charitable activities nationwide by partnering with local animal welfare organizations at the grass roots level.
Since then, the PETCO Foundation has raised over $37 million through a combination of fundraisers including Tree of Hope, Spring A Pet, Round Up and KIND News. In addition, the PETCO Foundation is always prepared to launch immediate fundraising efforts in the case of natural disasters and emergencies.
The PETCO Foundation is also responsible for coordinating the donation of in-kind goods and services. Find out how your organization can benefit from our fundraising efforts or obtain an

Together we will make a difference.
