Blue Buffalo’s Home 4 the Holidays adoption drive rescues one million petsBy Stacey McIntyre-Gonzalez
Blue Buffalocelebrated a milestone Jan. 26 when a cat named Watermark became the one millionth pet to be adopted this season during their Home 4 the Holidays pet adoption campaign. Watermark was rescued by the Monmouth County SPCA, NJ and waiting for a forever home when the Ferrier family took him and set the record for this year’s adoption drive.
Blue Buffalo’s Home 4 the Holidays campaign was launched in 1999 and since then has become the largest pet adoption program on record. The Home 4 the Holidays drive has saved more than 10 million pets overall and each yearly campaign lasts three months. With so many new pets coming home during the holidays Blue Buffalo uses the campaign as a way to educate the public about happy, healthy pets available for adoption in animal shelters.

"Blue Buffalo is setting the gold standard for pet businesses to support the greatest cause for all of us – rescuing our best friends."
