Beginning July 24, and lasting through August 14, customers of
PETCO stores will be asked to "round-up" their purchases to next highest dollar. The additional money will go into a fund that will be used to pay for spaying and neutering of animals. Each individual PETCO store will select one or more animal welfare partners to be the recipient of these funds.
In addition, 10% of all funds raised will be donated to the
Petfinder.com
Foundation to assist their spay/neuter efforts. Petfinder.com is the nation's
largest and oldest online adoption community, offering a searchable database
of adoptable companion animals.
Last year's Round-Up efforts raised more than $817,000 for local animal welfare organizations across the country.
