Free Adoptions for Chewy Claus

Saturday, December 12 @ 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM

  • Chewy Claus logo in white lettering on a blue background, surrounded by small star shapes.

We’re thrilled to join shelters and rescue groups across the country to celebrate the magic of Chewy Claus! Animal-lovers are encouraged to write letters from their pets, telling Chewy Claus about their holiday dream. Every letter to Chewy Claus helps shelter pets get adopted for free. Plus, Chewy Claus will send some lucky pets surprises throughout the month of December.

Then on Saturday, December 12, Chewy is sponsoring the adoption fees* for dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens at Joybound. Bring JOY to your holiday season this year by bringing home a new furry friend at absolutely no cost, thanks to Chewy Claus!

*Some exclusions may apply. Standard adoption criteria applies. Does not include ESA adoptions.
