About Us
The PEDIGREE Foundation has its roots in The PEDIGREE® Adoption Drive, a campaign initiated in 2005 by PEDIGREE® Brand. This annual adoption drive—active in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and other countries around the world—has helped raise awareness and funds for dogs in need. In 2008, PEDIGREE® Brand created the PEDIGREE Foundation to further help the cause.
The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) private foundation that is run by a volunteer Board of Directors and funded by PEDIGREE® Brand and contributions from the public. Since 2008, we have awarded more than $5 million through 4,415 grants to shelters and rescue organizations.
Be the Person Your Dog Thinks You Are. Volunteer!
Many shelters and rescues couldn’t exist without volunteers. Contact shelters and rescues in your area and ask about their volunteer program. Here are two great organizations that can also help you find a match for your time and talents.
