The mission (and passion) of Adopt a Pet is to help get homeless pets out of the shelters and into loving homes. One way we do that is by helping Adopt a Pet approved shelters & rescues through grant programs. If you are a representative of a shelter or rescue organization and do not yet have an approved Adopt-a-Pet.com account, you can apply for an account here. Your organization will be eligible to apply for any of our open grant opportunities!

Seresto® Circle of Love Grants Are Back!

Why are these pups so happy?! Could it be because the 2022 Seresto® Circle of Love grant program is now open for applications! Our wonderful friends at Seresto® are helping us once again with $100,000 in product grants for shelters and rescues in the Adopt-a-Pet.com network. Seresto® collars can help keep dogs and cats protected from fleas and ticks for 8 continuous months. That’s eight full months where you can focus on other aspects of animal care. Grants will be awarded to shelters and rescues caring for cats or dogs while they are waiting to be adopted. Thank you to our compassionate sponsor Seresto® for their part in making these grants possible! [NOW CLOSED]

Wisdom Panel™ 3 Million and More Grants

[NOW CLOSED] It’s time to get your party hats on! Our friends at Wisdom Panel™, the world leader in pet genetics and maker of Wisdom Panel™ pet DNA tests, have reached an incredible milestone and they want to celebrate with you. They’ve hit a big number, with 3 million pets tested worldwide across their range of products—more than any other pet DNA service provider. What better way to revel in this accomplishment than to pay it forward? Wisdom Panel™ is teaming up with Adopt-a-Pet.com to help pets find their forever homes with the 3 Million and More grant program.

Wisdom Panel™ will fund $10,000 towards the 3 Million and More grant program, which will focus on helping shelters and rescues better care for homeless pets by providing cash grants to go towards medical needs. The medical needs grants will be available for shelters and rescues across the country starting on March 1, 2022. To apply, shelters and rescues sent their Wisdom Panel’s 3 Million and More grant application to Adopt-a-Pet.com prior to April 22, 2022. [NOW CLOSED]
