Lynnwood, WA (March 04, 2026) – PAWS in Lynnwood is set to receive a $5,000 grant investment from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of their lifesaving work for pets in Washington State.
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 more than $430 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.
“Our investment in PAWS in Lynnwood, WA is part of more than $12M in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized,” said Chelsea Staley, Petco Love President. “Our local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us. We launched Petco Love Lost, a free national lost and found database that uses photo-matching technology to simplify the search for lost pets.”
“This generous investment makes an immediate and meaningful difference for all the pets in our care. Thanks to Petco Love we are able to direct resources where they matter most – healing, nourishment, and helping pets on their journey to loving homes,” said R. Harrison Edell, PAWS CEO.
