When Minnie's dad was diagnosed with cancer, their world changed overnight. ?? During every step of his treatment, Minnie never left his side—staying next to his hospital bed for 36 straight hours. But as his health worsened, he made the most selfless choice—surrendering her to ensure she'd be cared for. Through the Humane Society of Greater Niagara's boarding program funded by PetSmart Charities of Canada, Minnie stayed safe and cared for while her dad focused on his recovery. For 750 days, he carried her dog tags in his wallet and visited the shelter to see her from afar while he fought cancer. But this August, he finally received news of his cancer remission and went to bring Minnie home. ?? Now they're reunited, with a new home, a big backyard, and a love story that reminds us what the season of giving is truly all about.

Pets are family. They make our lives whole. But for many families, not being able to access veterinary care threatens to tear these precious bonds apart. ?? That's where access to veterinary care becomes a lifeline - not just for pets, but for their families. Through our grants and programs, we support initiatives nationwide that provide affordable and accessible veterinary care to pets in need. From mobile clinics to low-cost services, we're working tirelessly to keep families together. To continue supporting pets nationwide, we need your help. By donating this holiday season, you can help keep pets together with the families who love them: https://heyor.ca/cqZgO5

One year ago, this gentle giant found his loving home through our partners at Brandywine Valley SPCA. ?? His mom says, 'Adopting Rory was the best decision I've ever made. He's taught me so much about life, patience, kindness, and unconditional love.' From pup cups to cuddles, Rory's living his best life and spreading joy to everyone he meets. At PetSmart Charities, we're proud to support amazing adoption stories like Rory's across the nation. Through our grant funding to our adoption partners and our in-store adoption centers, we're helping pets find their perfect matches every day.
