Support the Program—Support Teachers and Pets

Join us in making a difference in classrooms across the country. When teachers shop at your store for classroom pet supplies, they submit receipts for reimbursement through our grant program. Your sponsorship helps cover these costs, easing the financial burden on educators and enriching students’ lives through the power of pets. Let’s talk about how your support can make a lasting impact.

Run a Round-Up Campaign—It’s Easy!

Looking for a simple way to get involved? Invite your customers to round up their purchases or donate via Venmo at checkout. We’ll provide a ready-to-use sign you can place at your register—no complicated setup required. Every small donation adds up to big change for classrooms in your community. Ready to get started?
