Iams Home 4 the Holidays Update

11.12.2010 // Fit As Fido // Dawn A. Marcus, M.D. // 1 Comment

We recently helped launch this year’s Iams Home 4 the Holidays program. As you may recall, last year this program helped find forever homes for 1.3 million pets.

This year, Iams hopes to help place 1.5 million pets AND provide 5 million bowls of food to shelters in need. Since the October launch of this year’s program, 288,184 pets have found forever homes and 439,746 meals have been donated to shelters.

Join Iams in helping to make this a happy holiday season for person and pooch. Here’s how you can help:

- If you’ve been thinking about adding a pet to your life and the time is right, check out adoptable pets needing a home
- Make a food donation to your local shelter
- Tell your friends about Iam’s program and encourage them to adopt and donate
- Look for special stickers on Iam’s pet food bags that let you know Iams will make a donate to a shelter when you buy that bag of food
- Volunteer at your local animal shelter
- Follow Iam’s progress at Facebook

Help make this holiday season a time of blessings for man and pet. Let me know what you’re doing to help pets in need.
