The Petco Foundation, in partnership with Petco, is awarding more than $750,000 in Holiday Wishes grants to deserving animal welfare organizations! 
Submissions are due by Sept. 30! 

What is Holiday Wishes?

The Holiday Wishes campaign gives adopters the opportunity to share their stories of how their pet changes their life, giving the animal welfare organization they adopted from a chance to win a grant of up to $100,000 from the Petco Foundation.

Who should participate?

Encourage any of your adopters to submit their story describing how their adopted pet brings joy to their life each and every day. We want to hear all of the ways, big and small, pets change people's lives for the better.

Help make your Holiday Wishes come true!

Share our Facebook video to spread the word and increase your organization's chance of earning an award. 

Don't miss the deadline!
Submit stories before the deadline on September 30, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. CST. We recommend submitting stories before the deadline to ensure they are reviewed. *Due to the high volume of applications, only the first 10,000 submissions are guaranteed full review by the application team.

Hurricane Irma has reached Puerto Rico.  As a friend and member of Love Puerto Rico Golden Retriever Rescue, I urge you to help in any way you can.

Our dogs are primarily fostered but some are in boarding as well.  We have families fostering across the Island and boarding facilities that will be hit hard by the hurricane.  They all need your help!

How can you help?

• Send dog food via Petsmart 
• Send donations - we will apply this wherever needed (food, a safe place to stay, etc.)

Your donations and prayers will go along way to help us save lives.

Thank you to everyone who has donated this week, it is truly appreciated.

If you have questions regarding how to send dog food via Petsmart, please feel free to contact me at hroge@att.net (Holly)
