Helen Woodward Animal Center and Blue Buffalo Partner for 27th Annual Home 4 the Holidays Campaign, Donating Over 86,000 Pounds of Pet Food
The Helen Woodward Animal Center has launched its 27th annual Home 4 the Holidays campaign, in partnership with Blue Buffalo. This year, the initiative is distributing over 86,000 pounds of pet food to animal rescue organizations, with more than 43,000 pounds going to San Diego and another 43,000 pounds to New York City. The campaign, which began in 1999, aims to encourage pet adoption during the holiday season, advocating for families to choose shelter pets over purchases from pet stores or breeders. Blue Buffalo has been a dedicated partner since 2013, and since 2018, has specifically focused on addressing the critical need for food in shelters. Animal shelters nationwide are currently facing significant challenges, including overcrowding, dwindling resources, and rising costs for medical care and supplies. The donated food will be distributed to approximately 40 local animal welfare organizations, providing essential relief and meals for pets awaiting adoption.
