NEARLY 1.4 MILLION ANIMALS ADOPTED THROUGH THE IAMS HOME 4 THE HOLIDAYS 2009 PET ADOPTION DRIVE
“I’m proud to be part of such an amazing cause and I hope the many families who adopted through the IH4TH program will experience the same unconditional love and fulfillment my dogs Karoo and Rumi give me every day,” said Swank. “I hope our success inspires everyone to get involved and continue to help eradicate pet homelessness because there are millions of animals who still need our help and we all have the ability to help make a difference.”
Iams Home 4 The Holidays had its most successful drive ever and placed 1.4 million animals in new homes! Between Oct. 1, 2009 and Jan. 4, 2010, more than 3,500 animal organizations, the IH4TH ambassador—two-time Academy Award®-winning actress Hilary Swank—and YOU all helped to create a powerful combination in the massive effort to help reduce pet homelessness! To date, IH4TH has helped place over 4.6 million animals with loving families.
The following animals were adopted this year:
* 729,357 dogs
* 588,265 cats
* 46,016 other animals (including rabbits, reptiles, horses, birds and more)
The next IH4TH program will kick-off on Oct. 1 2010, but this is still an issue that needs attention and there are plenty of ways to get involved now!
