U.S. shelters and rescues took in 5.8 million dogs and cats in 2025, according to Shelter Animals Count. Every adoption makes a difference, giving a pet a loving family while freeing up critical space and resources for local shelters to care for the next animal in need.
Petsense by Tractor Supply has set a goal of 1,200 adoptions for this fall’s event. Since 2005, Petsense has supported more than 223,000 pet adoptions through its in-store Sav-A-Pet centers and nationwide adoption events. This year’s event is supported by pet care brands including Champion, Stella & Chewy’s, Tomlyn/Vetoquinol, Frontline, Fromm, Petmate and Purina.
“Every Adoptathon is a reminder of what’s possible when a community shows up for shelter animals,” said Shawn Blankenship, Vice President of Petsense by Tractor Supply. “Our local shelter and rescue partners do incredible work year-round, and this event gives families a chance to meet adoptable pets right in their neighborhood store. We want every new pet parent to leave with the support, guidance and savings they need, on adoption day and every day after.”
A Strong Start for Every New Pet Parent
To help new pets get home safely, adopters will receive a travel-ready adoption box sponsored by Frontline and Hill’s Science Diet. Adopters will also receive access to:
