Each year, more than 45,000 dogs find themselves in animal shelters
across Canada.
The makers of Pedigree believe all dogs deserve a good home, which is
why the Pedigree Adoption DriveTM campaign is now in its second
year.
Four-time World Figure Skating Champion and dog lover Kurt Browning
has returned as the campaign's spokesperson.
He said "the adoption drive is mostly [...] to raise funds, but also
to raise awareness about shelters and what they do for dogs."
Browning said he hopes the drive will encourage people to help shelter
dogs.
"Shelter dogs sometimes are not considered [...] because of certain
worries. And you think that there's a reason why dogs go to shelters
[but] it's not jail for dogs."
The aim of the campaign is to raise $500-thousand for shelters across
Canada through different events, including public skating events with
Browning and in-store retailer programs.
Money collected will go to participating shelters across the country
and will be used to cover vet care, vaccination, shelter and food
costs.
