Helen Woodward Animal Center
In 1999, the Helen Woodward Animal Center teamed up with 14 San Diego area shelters to start the
Iams Home 4 the Holidays program. That year they found homes for 2,563 orphaned pets. But that was only the beginning. Since that first year, the annual campaign has grown into the largest pet adoption drive in history!*
Last year, we set a new World Adoption Record* with 491,612 adoptions, but this year we’ve raised the bar even higher. The goal? 1 million adoptions. With your help, we believe we can do it!
