Petco Love

From June 1-30, Petco Love and BOBS from Skechers are celebrating National Foster a Pet Month!

We’re so excited to celebrate hardworking local fosters nationwide all month long and encourage even more animal lovers to become foster parents.

Be sure to join the foster celebration with your organization on social media, email, and more using our National Foster a Pet Month Toolkit!

The toolkit includes:

Share the Extraordinary Lifesaving Efforts of Unsung Heroes

Do you know an extraordinary individual dedicated to saving animal lives who deserves recognition for their work? Share their story with Petco Love and your organization could earn a $25,000 grant award.

All submissions must be completed by a current Petco Love partner organization by noon CST on Saturday, July 31 for consideration.

Complete your Annual Data Report to Ensure Eligibility for All Funding Opportunities!

You can still submit your data to be considered for funding opportunities during the 2021 year. Please make sure to submit this data if you are an organization that primarily shelters and adopts animals, or if you’re holding adoptions at a Petco store. Download the PDF instructions to get started.

Please remember to attach a signed W-9 form and answer all questions in full. If your organization does not conduct adoptions, you are not required to complete a data report. For questions, contact partners@petcolove.org. Learn more about submitting your report by logging in to the Partner Portal.

Foster families make a world of difference — from sleepovers to fospice care and from long-term fosters to day out programs! Recruit more helping hands or celebrate and promote foster pets with easy-to-use graphics and social tools, then check out these resources for your fosters totake better photos and write engaging bios.

MUTTS Social for Shelters

MUTTS is providing free monthly content for animal welfare groups to share on social media.

These ready-to-post assets will save valuable time, boost online engagement, and ultimately help more animals get adopted!

To expedite any grant award your organization is awarded from Petco Love, sign up for Paymode-X to receive funds electronically. Once your organization is set up, you’ll no longer need to wait for a physical check to be processed and mailed and will instead receive grant awards directly to your organization’s bank account.

Grant Application Periods

Organizations are invited to apply for grant opportunities based on their organization type or primary purpose and mission. All requests should be submitted through our Partner Portal. Learn more on our partner webpage.

All application periods close at 5PM PT/8PM ET on the final day.
