Iams Home 4 the Holidays Final Totals
In the midst of my crisis with Bailey, I have some good news to report.
Final numbers are in for Iams Home 4 the Holiday, and our buddy Hilary Swank is helping make the announcement today, noon Pacific Time which is 3 PM EST (where I’m at).
The grand total at the end of the 2009 Iams Home 4 the Holidays adoption event is:
1,363,638 pets adopted!
Here the total breakdown:
- 729,357 Dogs
- 588,265 Cats
- 46,016 Other Types of Pets
We didn’t reach our total of 1.5 million, but we beat last year’s total of 1.2 million. And when I think of this from a historic viewpoint, I feel we can all still be very proud of our results. Since we first partnered with the Helen Woodward Animal Center back in 1999, we’ve helped over 4.6 million pets find forever homes. In 11 years we went from 14 to over 3,800 participating shelters and rescues. More than 2.3 million dogs and 2 million cats have been adopted. Those are some excellent numbers!
So I’m sending out a big congratulation to all the shelters and rescues who worked with us this year to find furever homes for pets. YOU GUYS ROCK!!
And be sure to stay tuned for more, because we’ve already started working on Iams Home 4 the Holidays 2010!
