About Iams Home 4 the Holidays
Iams Home 4 the Holidays began in 1999 when Helen Woodward Animal Center organized 14 shelters in San Diego County, Calif. during the holiday season to find homes for orphaned pets and to take business from the puppy mill industry. These shelters placed 2,563 dogs and cats in their new homes. In 2000, the program expanded to 130 shelters in five US states and completed more than 20,000 adoptions. In 2001, Iams Home 4 the Holidays became the largest pet adoption drive in history when 450 participating groups in four countries completed more than 100,000 adoptions -- the program launched in Canada in 2004. To date, the annual campaign has helped place more than 1.75 million orphaned pets in happy homes worldwide.
