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 nearly $433 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 7.1 million pets adopted and counting. The investment in Pauls Clinic, Inc. 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.” “Our partnership with Petco Love means that Pauls Clinic can spay and neuter 80 additional pets for low income families who live in Warren and the five surrounding counties,” said Villa Mitchell, President, Pauls Clinic, Inc. 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. Pauls Clinic, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that provides high quality spay/neuter services to residents in Warren and the five adjoining counties. Since 2012, Pauls Clinic, Inc. has spayed and neutered 21,402 pets. For more information about Pauls Clinic, Inc., visit paulsclinicinc.com.
