dvm360 Staff

Shelters across the United States and Canada found 66,000 dogs their forever homes with the help of these grants

PEDIGREE Foundation announced in 2022 it awarded over $1 million in grants across rescue programs and animal shelters across the United States and Canada. Through these grants, the shelters and rescue programs were able to help over 66,000 dogs be adopted and find their forever homes.

"A recent survey from our partners at Adopt-a-Pet revealed that 9 in 10 animal shelters and rescue organizations across the U.S. reported that resource constraints and overpopulation have remained consistent or worsened since earlier in 2022," said Kimberly Wise, president of the board of directors for PEDIGREE Foundation, in an organizational release.1 "Now more than ever, PEDIGREE Foundation support of our animal welfare partners is critical in helping provide and care for deserving dogs in our communities and helping them find loving homes."

According to the release,1 since its founding in 2008, PEDIGREE Foundation awarded more than 6,100 grants totaling $11.7 million. Then earlier this year, PEDIGREE Foundation expanded its services in Canada with the launch of the PEDIGREE Foundation Canadian Grant Program which provided $100k CAD to Canadian shelters and rescue organizations in need.

All awarded grant recipients are available online and include1:

  • Disaster Relief Grants: From natural disasters like Hurricane Ian to puppy mill seizures, the need for disaster support continued in 2022. The Foundation contributed $114,500 for disaster relief and/or emergency care efforts across the U.S.
  • Canadian Grants: As part of the launch of the inaugural Canadian Grant Program, $100,000 was awarded to animal shelters with programming that provides behavioral training, transport needs, and medical care.
  • Safety Net Grants –In collaboration with the PEDIGREE brand, $100,000 in Essential Support Dogs Safety Net grants were awarded to organizations that provide immediate assistance with temporary boarding or fostering, food costs, or pet-friendly housing deposits, as well as those focusing on dogs with families needing medical expense relief.

"The Pennsylvania SPCA is so grateful to receive this lifesaving DOGS RULE grant from PEDIGREE Foundation," said Julie Klim, Chief Executive Officer at PSPCA, in the release. "This partnership will amplify the scope and reach of our Adopting Great Behaviors program, enabling us to rehabilitate and rehome dogs presenting a range of challenging behaviors. We are thrilled to support more community members and their dogs with specialized care, and we look forward to sharing our learnings, strategy, and behavior program resources with fellow animal welfare organizations."1
