About Blue Buffalo Home 4 the Holidays

Through a collective group of more than 4,000 pet adoption agencies, facilities and rescue groups, Home 4 the Holidays has become the largest pet adoption campaign on record, saving more than 20 million pets since its inception in 1999. The campaign saves the lives of thousands of orphan pets during the holiday season and educates the public about the importance of choosing pet adoption.

For the tenth year, Helen Woodward Animal Center is excited to partner with Blue Buffalo for this impactful program. The pet food company provides impressive national marketing to spread the word about adopting over the holiday season and pet food prizes for adopting pet parents through the #IChoseToRescue Contest.
