PETCO is once again a Charitable Partner of the Animal Krewe!
November 24 - December 24, 2007
Shop at PETCO and the Animal Krewe will receive a donation from sales.
supports community organizations and efforts that enhance the lives of companion animals while strengthening the bond between people and pets. PETCO was founded in 1965 on the principle of "connecting with the community." PETCO's rapid growth and nationwide expansion created the need to launch a separate organization capable of managing our charitable endeavors. As a result of this increasing hands-on involvement with animal welfare agencies across the country, the PETCO Foundation was established in February 1999. The PETCO Foundation dedicates its programs to serving "The Four Rs" - Reduce, Rescue, Rehabilitate, Rejoice.
