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 Charities^TM
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 South Naples store, 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, 46,018 lives were saved in Florida through adoptions
at PetSmart.

*All grand opening giveaways available while supplies last.
