Ideal Applicant
Established or emerging animal-welfare organizations (shelters, rescue groups, municipal animal services, adoption and veterinary-care programs) with programs aligned to Petco Love’s Adopt/Care/Lost priorities and capacity to accept general operating support.
Good Fit
- • Mission focused on companion animal welfare, sheltering, adoption, reunification, or veterinary access.
- • Track record of service delivery in a city, region, or statewide program for pets.
- • Capacity to manage general operating grants and report outcomes.
- • Programs that map to Petco Love’s Adopt, Care, or Lost program areas.
- • Willingness to apply through an online portal during published submission windows.
Geography
Observed grantmaking is national in scope: the latest year shows recipients in 50 states and multi‑state distribution, with no single-state dominance despite a Texas headquarters.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded 784 distinct recipients across many types (humane societies, municipal animal services, university foundations and small rescues), with both many repeat grantees and a substantial number of new entrants.
New Applicants
Direct behavior shows meaningful intake of new organizations (232 new grantees in 2024 and a large number in 2023) and a visible online submission portal and instructions, indicating unfamiliar applicants can plausibly access funding.
