Iams Friends For Life Program
Of the more than seven million cats and dogs that end up
in animal shelters every year, less than half are adopted. Of those adopted,
30-50% are returned to shelters because they weren’t deemed a “good fit”
for their adoptive home. It is estimated that 1.8 million pets are adopted
from and returned to shelters … every single year.
Iams Dog and Cat Foods recognizes the need to take the lead
in addressing pet homelessness. The Iams Friends for Life Program enables
Iams to live our mission of enhancing the well-being of dogs and cats
by not only saving lives, but bringing together people and pets for a
lifetime of health, happiness, and love. This program is made of many
pieces that fit together to benefit our companion animals.
- Iams
Home 4 the Holidays is the world's largest adoption campaign
that began in 1999 with the premise that if shelter organizations around
the world joined together in a concerted effort to find homes for orphaned
pets, they could make a real difference in many animals and families'
lives by raising awareness about pet homelessness and the joys of pet
adoption.
- Iams/ASPCA
Meet Your Match helps make the love connection. Matching
the right pet with the right owner is key to creating friends for life.
Through a color-coded system matching pets with people, your shelter's
adoption counselors are given the tools they need to arrange adoptions
that are more likely to work for both the pet and the adopter.
- Iams Friends for Life Adoption Program - When
you enroll in the Iams Friends for Life program, your shelter will receive
a supply of adoption kits to give out to new pet owners. The kits provide
a way to make the pet's first few days in a new home even better, and
promote a long and happy life together.
- The Iams Friends for Life Fund has been created
to support the Iams Friends For Life mission of bringing together people
and pets for a lifetime of health, happiness and love. Pet lovers everywhere
who would like to support the Iams Friends For Life mission, can make
a tax deductible donation
now!
