Adopt a Pet is proudly partnering with Zoetis to support animal welfare organizations like yours with petcare product grants. These grants are for shelters and rescues caring for cats and/or dogs pre-adoption. Read on for the details, rules, and application instructions.

Application round 2 opening date to be announced in late summer 2024
Each grant recipient organization will receive set quantities of the following products from Zoetis: Vanguard canine and feline vaccines, Simparica Trio, Revolution Plus, dewormers, and antibiotics.
Grants are available for U.S. shelters and rescues only, with either a 501c3 or government tax designation.
You must have an approved and active Adopt a Pet shelter or rescue account to qualify for a grant.
An approved account is one that was approved after signing up. You would have received your approval email, and the pets you list on Adopt a Pet are visible to the public.
An active account has, within the last 30 days, either: a) logged in and viewed your Pet List or added a new pet, or b) added a new pet via uploading software.
One application per active Adopt a Pet shelter or rescue organization will be accepted. Do not submit multiple applications.
Applications should be submitted via the form linked in this article. You will be notified in the coming months if you are selected for a grant.
By applying for this grant, you agree to the submissions license below and agree to provide Adopt a Pet and/or Zoetis with follow-up photos and descriptions of how the grant helped the pet or pets in your care. Photos and descriptions may be used by Adopt a Pet and Zoetis.
By applying for this grant, you agree to opt in to communications from both Adopt a Pet and Zoetis. Should you be selected, your contact information will be shared with Zoetis for grant award notification and fulfillment logistics.
Grant recipients are to be selected from qualifying finalists at the discretion of Adopt a Pet and Zoetis.
Grants are to be awarded on a case-by-case basis. Adopt a Pet is not responsible for the final selection of recipients and the fulfillment of product grants. If you are selected to receive a grant, you will hear directly from Zoetis.
Only grant recipients will be contacted. Zoetis will notify round 1 grant recipients by May 2024.
An authorized representative of your shelter or rescue should submit one application via this link.
