About Home 4 the Holidays

Iams Home 4 the Holidays (IH4TH) is one of the largest and most successful pet adoption campaigns in the world with 4,000 animal organizations in over 15 countries. It began in 1999 in San Diego County. The Helen Woodward Animal Center spearheaded the effort with only 14 local shelters to start and the support of Iams. As the program evolved, so did the relationship between the Helen Woodward Animal Center and Iams, growing into a true partnership committed to finding homes for shelter animals. Our devotion doesn’t end after the holidays.
