Your Love Story is lifesaving.
Adopted pets change lives. But not everyone knows this. Your Love Story can help change that, so more shelter pets find loving families.
Thanks to everyone who submitted a Love Story!
Top submissions will be announced publicly February 2026.
Once upon a time...
Real-life Love Stories
Our bond is so special because Moly has walked in my shoes, and I in her paws. When I am feeling sorry for myself, Moly comes over and lays her head on my lap, staring into my eyes. She’s telling me that I am loved, and a deep, wonderful feeling washes over me.
Shelter pets change lives. Let’s save theirs.
Every year, pet parents and Petco Love help more pets get adopted by sharing Love Stories that celebrate the big and small ways pets change our lives for the better and by awarding grants to animal welfare organizations so they can create more adoption matches!
Since 2013, more than 25,000 adopters, like you, have shared their Love Story, and we’ve awarded $8 million in lifesaving grants to the animal welfare organizations that make these adoptions possible.
Join us in helping more pets get adopted into loving families by celebrating the impact your adopted pet has on your life.
Where there’s Love, there’s hope
