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.
