The new store features nearly 18,000 square feet of space, providing pet

comprehensive line of pet products. The Sheridan store is the first to
include a Pinnacle Pet Nutrition section with expanded products
featuring high-protein, natural, grain-free and raw pet food. It also

PetSmart, The Adopt Spot^TM, is where people save pets and
pets save people. Since its founding in 1987, PetSmart recognized the
pet homelessness problem and made the decision to never sell dogs or
cats. To help end pet homelessness and save lives, PetSmart joins
PetSmart Charities®, PetSmart Charities^TM of Canada and
nearly 3,000 local animal welfare organizations across North America on
a range of powerful adoption events in PetSmart stores.

PetSmart is a leader in ending pet homelessness through in-store
adoptions that happen every day in its stores, and through National
Adoption Weekends, held four times a year, where more than 20,000 pets
find forever homes in a single weekend. Each year, millions of pets
enter shelters across North America and some 3 million healthy,
adoptable pets are euthanized.

Every PetSmart store, including this store in Sheridan, builds
long-lasting relationships with local animal welfare organizations to
utilize its stores as adoption centers. In September, PetSmart and its
adoption partners reached a significant milestone – 7 million pets
adopted since 1994! For every 30 seconds a PetSmart store is open a
pet’s life is saved, totaling about 1,400 lives saved every day.
