The organization’s stated mission is “to raise the quality of life for pets and people who love and need them.” Its filing describes work to end preventable euthanasia of shelter pets, increase access to veterinary care, and reunite lost pets with their families.
Grant-supported work includes adoption, fostering, shelter-pet lifesaving programs, veterinary and wellness care, spay/neuter services, emergency medical care, vaccines, and pet cancer treatment and research. The organization also describes disaster support for pets and shelter-pet training as service or therapy animals. Its Petco Love Lost program uses pet image recognition technology to help reunite lost pets with their families.
The 2025 grantees illustrate the range of supported organizations. Austin Pets Alive says it works to eliminate the killing of companion animals through resources, education, and programs. Brandywine Valley SPCA describes its mission as humane animal treatment and community animal-welfare leadership. Charleston Animal Society says its mission is preventing cruelty to animals, while Jacksonville Humane Society describes providing care for animals and working to end the killing of abandoned and orphaned shelter animals. Humane Society of North Texas says it saves, shelters, protects, and advocates for animals in need.

The website says Helping Heroes and pet cancer grant cycles are by invitation only.
