Petsgiving

Every pet deserves a home for the holidays.

Welcome to Petsgiving

A new season of gratitude,inspired by pets.

Pets give us more than we could ever measure. They make us happier, healthier and less lonely. They make ordinary days better simply by being there.

Petsgiving is a new American holiday tradition held the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and the start of a new season dedicated to returning the favor.

It is a time to gather with the animals and people we love. To thank the pets who make our lives better. And to give something back to the ones still waiting for a home.

How to Petsgive

There’s no wrong way to Petsgive.

Start with three simple things.

  1. 01

    Thank

    Thank your pet. Thank your vet. Thank your rescue. Thank your neighbor. However you do it, take a moment to recognize the animals who give us so much.

    Coming Soon

    Petsgivers will be able to share their stories of gratitude — part of a growing global record of what pets give our lives.

  2. 02

    Gather

    Gather with your friends. Share your recipes. Go for a walk together. Find a pet-friendly hike, or a restaurant that welcomes your dog.

    Coming Soon

    Share your Petsgiving recipes and traditions. We want to hear about the tasty treats and the communities you’re building.

  3. 03

    Give

    Adopt. Foster. Volunteer. Donate. Support a local rescue. Share an adoptable pet. Help a neighbor care for theirs.

    Coming Soon

    In partnership with Best Friends, we’ll be tapping into their nationwide network of shelter partners to build Petsgiving toolkits and turnkey ways to give.
