"When natural disasters strike, thousands of pets and pet parents can be evacuated, displaced or left homeless. During National Pet Preparedness Month, and as we approach hurricane, flooding and wildfire seasons across North America, PetSmart and PetSmart Charities are poised and ready to help," says Deborah Turcott, acting president of PetSmart Charities. "The emergency relief funding we're able to provide, paired with the pet supplies generously donated by PetSmart customers, allows both of our organizations to holistically support animal welfare organizations working on the front lines to rescue and care for pets during unforeseen natural disasters. It's important work that we're so proud to be a part of."
