“One million dollars and countless lives changed for the better. Since 2022, Pet Supermarket and its customers have helped turn the promise of independence into reality for people who can now live a thriving life with the support of our extraordinary dogs,” said Dogs Inc. CEO & President Veronica Thames. “This latest $60,000 gift begins another remarkable chapter in a partnership built on generosity, compassion, and the belief that a dog can have the deepest impact on a life - and change it in ways we can see and many we cannot.”

As a Florida-based organization, Dogs Inc. represents a particularly meaningful partnership for Pet Supermarket, which has deep roots and a longstanding presence across the state. The $60,000 donation will bring Pet Supermarket’s lifetime contributions to Dogs Inc. to over $1 million, marking a significant milestone in the longstanding partnership. These funds will support Dogs Inc.’s mission to raise, train, and place highly skilled service and guide dogs, helping expand the organization’s impact in Florida and beyond.

“We're proud to contribute $300,000 this year to support animal welfare organizations, including local shelters and groups dedicated to helping pets in need,” added Brendan Proctor, CEO of Pet Supermarket. “These partnerships reflect our ongoing commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of animals and the communities we serve.”

Looking ahead, the Foundation will continue to build partnerships with organizations across the communities Pet Supermarket serves, creating opportunities to strengthen local resources, support pets in need, and make a lasting impact well beyond 2026.
