What a perfect morning to bring pets and pet parents together by hosting a 5K-9 Fun Run in partnership with the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee. With the big game only a few weeks away here in Arizona, more than 1,000 pet parents alongside their adorable dogs participated in this amazing event, with proceeds benefiting PetSmart Charities, the leading funder of animal welfare in communities across North America. Thanks to the dedicated volunteers, partners and sponsors who helped make this wonderful event happen.
Giving back isn’t just something we do, it’s part of who we are. As part of our commitment to bring the community together and provide opportunities for our associates to volunteer and pay it forward, we hosted an event today in partnership with the Super Bowl Host Committee to pack 50,000 meals for United Food Bank helping those in need right here in our hometown of Phoenix. We know the need is great, especially around the holidays, which is why we also presented United Food Bank with a $10,000 check to help extend their impact in feeding families who need it most. #lifeatpetsmart #unitedtogether #anythingforpets #giveback
Finley's #lifeatpetsmart then ➡️ now. 🥹 We love having this cutie in our Phoenix Home Office! Her favorite parts of coming to work with her mom Brittany are playing with friends in the dog park and desk/office trick-or-treating. ☺️
Last week we celebrated the last National Adoption Week of 2022. Close to 19,000 pets found new loving families thanks to PetSmart Charities and people like you. ❤️ We are so happy for these new beginnings and to know these pets are receiving all the love they deserve. Thank you to our associates, partners within our communities, and all who helped make a difference! This is why we work together to take action and come together as a community with a common goal — to make the world a better place for pets and all who love them. 🐾💙
The month of May serves as Mental Health Awareness Month, a cause we are standing #UnitedTogether for here at PetSmart. Follow along with us over the next few weeks as we remain focused on #mentalhealthawareness. 😊 👋 Meet Kyle: Store Leader at Georgetown PetSmart “I seek to support others' mental health by actively listening. As a leader, it is very easy to assign tasks, tell people what needs to be done or give business updates, but we sometimes lose focus on the most important part of any good business and that is the people running it. I always try to stay mindful of how others may be feeling and I have an open-door policy with all of my associates. Getting to know our associates on a little more personal level, learning about their families, favourite activities or past personal experiences allows us to create a warm, welcoming environment within our store.” Thank you for all of your support, Kyle! We appreciate you so much and are thankful to have such a supportive leader within our pack. 🤩 #lifeatpetsmartcanada #lifeatpetsmart #IBelongAtPetSmart
We're so excited to announce the grand opening of the first Emancipet clinic in one of our PetSmart stores! When PetSmart Charities first introduced the Everyday Adoption Centers in stores in 2010 to help more pets find homes, the hope was always that the programs would grow to do more than just create families, but to help keep them together. The challenges many faces in obtaining access to veterinary care for their pets are one of the reasons PetSmart Charities works hard every day to equip their partners with the grants they need to help provide care for local communities. Partners like Emancipet have had an incredible impact in fighting the access to care gap. We are honored to partner with the Emancipet team alongside PetSmart Charities to help bring this to life. We're grateful to our PetSmart Charities team members and our PetSmart store associates for their dedication to pets and all who love them. We're proud of the work our partners do every day to make an impact. And we're so thankful for YOU—the pet lovers, advocates, and donors who make this all possible.
Thursday sign-on bonuses are the best. 🙌🥳 If you're interested in taking charge of your paycheck, we're #hiring in our Distribution Centers!
