PetSmart, The Adopt Spot™, is where people save pets and pets save people. Every PetSmart store, including this store in Flatiron, builds long-lasting relationships with local animal welfare organizations to utilize its stores as adoption centers.
Since its founding in 1987, PetSmart recognized the pet homelessness problem and made the decision to never sell dogs or cats. To help end pet homelessness and save lives, PetSmart joins PetSmart Charities®, PetSmart Charities® of Canada and more than 3,500 local animal welfare organizations across North America on a range of powerful adoption events in PetSmart stores. PetSmart and its adoption partners have reached a significant milestone – more than 7.9 million pets adopted since 1994! Nearly two out of every 10 pet adoptions in North America are facilitated at a PetSmart store.
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 as many as 30,000-plus pets find forever homes in a single weekend event. Each year, millions of pets enter shelters across North America and some 3 million healthy, adoptable pets are euthanized. The Flatiron store will also feature a specialized cat adoption center that allows cats to socialize in a unique environment while waiting to find their forever homes.
