Friends Program
Friends by Pet Food Express is a way to donate money to a rescue or shelter, at no additional cost to customers. Every time customers shop online at Pet Food Express, via the rescue or shelter’s custom link, the organization will get a donation equaling 4% of that purchase. Easy peasy. It’s simple, and it adds up.

$20 for Each Adoption
We love win/wins. And the 20/20 is just that. Each of our 290+ shelter and rescue partners are given special coupons to hand out during a new adoption, and when that coupon is redeemed, not only does the new pet parent receive 20% off their purchase, but the shelter they adopted from gets a $20 donation from us. Last year alone, the 20/20 program donated over $400,000 to our rescue partners throughout California. Now that's what we call lending a helping paw!

Signature Fundraisers
When we want to make a big impact quickly, these are our go-tos. The Holiday Shopping Spree campaign, the Fill the Food Bank Campaign, Kitten Season, and Cover Your K-9 are just some of the examples of our company-wide fundraisers that have literally generated millions for our community partners.
One success story: The 2019 Holiday Shopping Spree campaign generated $402,553 in funds – including a $25,000 match from Pet Food Express – which was then donated to 155 of our rescue and shelter partners for them to stock up on much-needed supplies for their adoptable pets. It’s a great example of what we can do when we all band together for a common cause.

Food & Supply Donations
We are proud to support more than 15 shelters and rescues through direct donations of supplies and food, and an additional 40-50 individual nonprofits through the donations of our edible and/or usable returned product. This means more than 500 pallets of food, treats, toys, and other supplies per year go to needy pets, rather than the landfill.

My Mutt Program
Rescue Reserves
Being a foster family for adoptable pets can be challenging, but finding a rescue group or shelter to foster for doesn't have to be! Designed to work with you, the Rescue Reserves program allows you to easily enroll in our rescue partners' California database, matching needy pets with foster homes. Make a real difference, at no cost to you - supplies and medical care are taken care of by the rescue agencies; all you have to supply are the snuggles!

Charitable Donations
Meaningful change doesn't just come from the biggest events, but also in a big way from the grassroots events and efforts held throughout the community all year. We are proud to support fundraising events benefiting animal-related nonprofits and children's schools in communities served by our stores, with contributions of product and/or gift cards totaling more than $15,000 annually.

Disaster Response
We hate when bad things happen, but we like that we have the ability to help. Whether it’s donations of crates, food, and cash for wildfire relief, supplies and food for canine influenza, or food bank drives during a pandemic, as a designated emergency response partner for northern California, we proudly stand by our community. (And we recognize that it’s not actually us, but rather our amazing customers that rally around these programs, and we love you for it!)

My Mutt Program
One of our most visible and longest-running charitable campaigns, the now-retired My Mutt program has been linked to more than $4 million in donations to animal-oriented nonprofits over the course of its seventeen years. Customers who donated to eligible organizations were rewarded with a large poster of their own pet, but not before it made a pit stop on the walls of our stores. We loved the customer enthusiasm and involvement, almost as much as we’ve enjoyed looking at our customers' pets every day!

Bay Area Pet Fair
We believe that if you're going to go big, you should go REALLY big. And that's why every year we strive to find good homes for as many pets as possible, in one eventful, informative, and fun weekend that we call the Bay Area Pet Fair. We are honored to be North America’s largest pet adoption event, with over 2000 adoptable pets from more than 80 rescues.

Store Adoption Events
Partnering with local shelters and rescues for regular store adoption events is just one more way to optimize exposure for adoptable, lovable pets. We can attest that many customers thought they were just swinging by a store to pick up a bag of dog food, but instead fell in love with a new best friend. And that’s just fine by us.

In-Store Cat Adoption Centers
We are very pleased to partner with local rescues and shelters to provide a permanent venue for cat adoptions in select stores. Our Cat Adoption Centers allow visitors to easily view adoptable cats while shopping (because the more times you walk past that adorable kitten, the harder it is not to take it home with you!). Our adoption centers help an average of 1,250 cats (and the occasional bunny) each year find their new lifelong homes.
Pet Food Express features full-service adoption centers at twelve of our stores: Benicia, Beverly Hills, Carmel, Danville, Long Beach, San Francisco (Market Street), Pasadena, Oakland (Rockridge), Roseville, Walnut Creek, San Anselmo, and San Jose (Blossom Hill).
