National nonprofit Petco Love invests in Prevent Homeless Pets to Help
Increase Access to Veterinary Care for Pets in
Southeastern Washington and Northeastern Oregon

Benton City, WA (October 2026) – Prevent Homeless Pets is set to receive a $4,000 grant investment from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of their lifesaving work for pets in Southeastern Washington and Northeastern Oregon.

Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested more than $442 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations — like ours — across North America, with more than 7.2 million pets adopted and counting.

The investment in Prevent Homeless Pets is part of more than $1.2M in grants recently announced by Petco Love for nearly 200 spay/neuter clinics and other low-cost veterinary care providers to help increase access to veterinary care for pets in their communities. The lifesaving investments are also being granted to reduce economic euthanasia, and the surrender of pets to shelters when families are not able to afford needed veterinary treatment.

“Petco Love knows pets are family and we strive to take care of them the best we can, though the reality is not everyone has equal access to veterinary care as many pet parents face difficult financial times,” said Chelsea Staley, President of Petco Love. “That’s why we are proud to support our partner animal welfare organizations in providing helpful services in their communities, so we can keep pets and their families together.”

“Having limited income is still the main barrier for pet families to be able to access spay/neuter services in our local community as well as in communities across the state. These pets are at high risk because their families do not have the resources to feed and care for unplanned litters or seek veterinary care from full-service clinics,” said Harriet Johnson, Executive Director of Prevent Homeless Pets. “Receiving this lifesaving investment from Petco Love allows Prevent Homeless Pets to execute our mission to end pet homelessness and suffering through prevention – and help families across our region keep pets in their loving homes with them, where they belong.”

As part of Petco Love’s mission to make pet families healthier and increase access to veterinary care, through its Vaccinated and Loved campaign, Petco Love reached a significant milestone of distributing four million free pet vaccines for family pets in February 2026. The campaign was launched in 2021, encouraging Petco Love animal welfare partners to host free vaccine clinics.

Prevent Homeless Pets is a nonprofit organization that provides low cost spay and neuter surgeries in the Tri-Cities, Central and South Eastern Washington State. Since 2009, Prevent Homeless Pets has performed over 73,000 spay and neuter surgeries for a total of 61,269 cats and 11,875 dogs.
