PetSmart, The Adopt Spot, is where people save pets and pets save people. Since its founding in 1987, PetSmart recognized the pet homelessness problem and made the decision to never sell dogs or cats. PetSmart is a leader in ending pet homelessness through in-store adoptions that happen every day in its stores, and through National Adoption Weekends, held four times a year, where approximately 20,000 pets find lifelong, forever homes in a single weekend. Each year, about 7 million pets enter shelters across North America and some 3 million healthy, adoptable pets are euthanized. To help end pet homelessness and save lives, PetSmart joins PetSmart Charities®, PetSmart CharitiesTM of Canada and nearly 3,000 local animal welfare organizations across North America on a range of powerful adoption events in PetSmart stores.
Every PetSmart store, including this store in Taylor, builds relationships with local animal welfare organizations to utilize its stores as adoption centers. For every 30 seconds a PetSmart store is open a pet’s life is saved, totaling about 1,400 lives saved every day. In the last year, 12,640 lives were saved in Michigan through adoptions at PetSmart.
