Q:
Do all the proceeds from The PEDIGREE Foundation go directly to dog shelters?
A:Donations to The PEDIGREE Foundation directly benefit select shelters and breed rescues nationwide. Thanks to the generosity of dog lovers across the country, the PEDIGREE Foundation has awarded more than $3 million to more than 1100 shelters and dog rescues nationwide since its inception in 2008.
Q:What is The PEDIGREE Foundation?
A:The PEDIGREE Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping dogs in need find loving homes by supporting the good work of shelters and dog rescue organizations around the country. Through no fault of their own, more than four million dogs end up in shelters and rescue organizations every year, and nearly half of them never find a place to call home.
The Foundation provides grants to 501(c)(3) shelters and dog rescue organizations nationwide and encourages dog lovers to adopt, volunteer, and donate to support the cause.

Q:Why did the PEDIGREE® Brand create The PEDIGREE Foundation?
A:As the brand that loves dogs, the PEDIGREE® Brand believes every dog deserves a loving home. To ensure the brand was maximizing its efforts to help four-legged friends in need, they created The PEDIGREE Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping dogs find loving homes.
The PEDIGREE® Brand understands there are people out there who love dogs but may not be ready to care for one full-time. Donating to the Foundation helps those dog lovers get involved and make a difference.
