The Petco Foundation was created in 1999 and has since raised over $115 million to support animal welfare organizations. It aims to raise the quality of life for pets and people through initiatives like increasing adoptions, reducing euthanasia, rescuing animals in crisis, and rehabilitating pets with behavioral issues. The document provides information on how to apply for grants and product donations from the Foundation by submitting a letter of inquiry online, and outlines the types of grants and donations available to support various initiatives like spay/neuter programs, trap-neuter-return programs, adoption events, and disaster relief.
