Join the world’s largest adoption campaign with Blue Buffalo® Home 4 the Holidays®

Home 4 the Holidays is a three month adoption drive that saves the lives of orphan pets and raises awareness about the importance of pet adoption during the holiday season.  Why? More families bring a new pet home during the holiday season than at any other time of year.

This campaign is dedicated to educating the public about the importance of choosing pet adoption over supporting puppy mills and backyard breeders.  Through our collective group of over 4,000 pet adoption agencies, facilities, and rescue-groups, this campaign has become the largest pet adoption campaign on record, saving over 20 million pets since its inception in 1999.

Benefits your organization/rescue can receive when you join Blue Buffalo Home 4 the Holidays:

  • A chance to win $1,000 when you encourage adopters to share a heartwarming story about their new pet. A winner will be chosen and in addition to a prize from Blue Buffalo for the pet parent, the organization they adopted from will win $1,000.
  • A chance to win $25,000 for your organization through the Home 4 the Holidays Media Award. We’re looking for creative ways you bring media attention to your organization during Home 4 the Holidays!
  • An intensive guide with free adoptions marketing resources and media plans for the holiday season.
  • By participating in Home 4 the Holidays, your shelter or rescue group will be listed on a map for potential new pet-parents to be able to easily locate their nearest animal organization. The international media coverage from the campaign, including articles, social media, advertisements, and press releases will bring footsteps through your door.
  • Once you’ve registered, visitors to Home4theHolidays.org will be able to find your organization and donate to the campaign! 100% of funds raised through your member page will go directly to you.
