== Relationship with PetSmart ==
It is often thought that the organization is primarily funded by PetSmart, but in reality, their primary source of funding comes from in-store PIN pad donations when customers check out, as well as PetSmart employee contributions through the PetSmart Associates United to Stop Euthanasia (P.A.U.S.E.) fundraising program.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.petsmartcharities.org/about-us/relationship|title = FOUNDED BY PETSMART® TO SAVE LIVES|date = |accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = |first = }}</ref>


=== Adoption Centers ===
=== Major donations ===
The charity has made major donations to further animal welfare. In 2007, it gave a $420,750 to the University of California-Davis.

Most PetSmart locations have an adoption center to house animals from local animal welfare organizations. PetSmart donates space for each center in their stores, PetSmart Charities funds the cost to build the center, and local animal welfare organizations are invited to bring their animals into the centers. While most stores are equipped with an Everyday Adoption Center that can house cats 24 hours a day, some stores have Enhanced Adoption Centers which lend the ability to house dogs as well, and also include a playroom to meet the animals. The animal welfare organizations are still repsonsible for the the care of the pets, even when placed in an adoption center.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.petsmartcharities.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-center|title = ADOPTION CENTERS BRING CUTE PETS TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD|date = |accessdate = |website = |publisher = |last = |first = }}</ref>


=== Adoption Events ===
== Funding ==
PetSmart stores host adoption events every weekend by partnering with local animal rescue and welfare organizations.

The charity has made major donations to further animal welfare. In 2007, it gave a $420,750 to the University of California-Davis. According to the organization, the fund will be used to finance an urgent need for an academic position dedicated to extending medical knowledge to shelter professionals.[16] In 2006, PetSmart Charities awarded $2.3 million in grants to help disaster relief agencies and animal welfare organizations address the needs of pets abandoned, hurt or lost during hurricanes and other natural disasters.[17] In 2006, it offered a request for proposals for $20,000 matching grants toward the establishment of state animal response teams in the U.S. The SART model is a public-private partnership for preparation and response to animal emergencies.[18]

[edit]

PetSmart Charities fund spay and neuter programs to reduce the number of feral or unwanted animals.[21][22] It also funds animal rescue operations that transfer animals to adoption shelters.[23]

PetSmart donates space for each center in their stores, PetSmart Charities funds the cost to build the center, and local animal welfare organizations are invited to bring their animals into the centers. While most stores are equipped with an Everyday Adoption Center that can house cats 24 hours a day, some stores have Enhanced Adoption Centers which lend the ability to house dogs as well, and also include a playroom to meet the animals. The animal welfare organizations are still responsible for the care of the pets, even when placed in an adoption center.[24]

PetSmart Charities also has a program where they will partner with other local animal welfare agencies in order to further the pet adoption process.[25][26]

PetSmart stores host adoption events by partnering with local animal rescue and welfare organizations. In addition, PetSmart Charities sponsors four national adoption events each year showcasing animals from multiple adoption groups in each store.
