Carrie to Help Homeless Dogs!
Getting Involved
Every year nearly four million dogs end up in shelters and breed rescues organizations. Dog lovers who want to do their part to help can become a fan of The PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive on Facebook. For each new fan, the PEDIGREEâ Brand will donate a bowl of food to help feed shelter dogs nationwide+.
While on the Facebook page, dog lovers can also show their support by donating money to help find dogs loving homes, a portion of which will be matched by the Brand up to $500,000. All donations go to
The PEDIGREE Foundation, a non-profit, organization benefitting 501(c)(3) status animal shelters and breed rescues nationwide.
“At PEDIGREE® Brand, everything we do is for the love of dogs, and we are very proud that we’ve been able to donate millions of dollars over the past six years to support dogs in need,” said John Anton, marketing director of The PEDIGREE® Brand, Mars Petcare US, the makers of PEDIGREE® Food for Dogs. “Our effort this year is particularly exciting because in addition to funds, our goal is to try and help feed as many homeless dogs as possible. For people that share our passion for this cause, helping couldn’t be easier – simply become a fan and help a dog at www.facebook.com/pedigree.”
Responsible Pet Ownership
It’s important to note that adopting a pet is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Caring for a pet is a big responsibility, but most dog lovers will tell you that adding a dog to your family will bring a great deal of joy and happiness.
To help educate potential dog owners, www.Dogsrule.com offers a special dog adoption area that provides a wealth of information about dogs, from how the adoption process works to training tips to guidelines for everyday care and nutrition. A downloadable Adoption Guide is also available and details handy checklists for first-time animal shelter visits, vet trips and even shopping.
