On October 1st, 2010 the Iams Home 4 the Holidays campaign officially kicked off!Along with founding partner The Helen Woodward Animal Center, Home 4 the Holidays has a goal of finding forever homes for 1.5 million dogs by January 4, 2011. The folks at IAMS emphasize the importance of adoption, which we at Teeny's Friends are big advocates of. They also provide families who adopt through the program with an adoption kit, chock full of goodies like nutrition information, training, and proper care to ensure that the relationship with their new furry friends starts off on the right "paw."
IAMS also understands that not everyone is currently able to take in a new pet, so they will also be working to provide 5 million bowls of food through their Bags 4 Bowls program. For every specially marked package of Iams dog or cat food purchased during the campaign, IAMS will donate one bowl of food to a participating animal organization.
Home 4 the Holidays is one of the world's largest pet adoption programs, with 3,500 partnering organizations working together to help more than 4.6 million animals find homes over the last 11 years.
“Pet homelessness is an epidemic in our country and many animal organizations look to programs like Iams Home 4 the Holidays to help drive families to our centers to see these amazing animals,” said Mike Arms, founder of the adoption drive and president of Helen Woodward Animal Center. “We’ve been a part of the adoption drive for 12 years now and have really seen the benefit of what this program can do for animals, our employees and the families who adopt.”
Below are some photos of the wonderful IAMS adoption angels as well as some furbabies looking for homes. To follow their stories, "Like" their Facebook page. In return, Iams will donate up to 100 meals per “Like” or comment to feed orphaned animals.
