The PEDIGREE Foundation has awarded $1.2 million in grants to shelters and rescues across North America, supporting more than 115,000 dogs through fostering, transport, behaviour training, and disaster relief programs.
In Canada, $125,000 will be distributed among ten organizations, including the Oakville & Milton Humane Society.
The foundation has granted over $15.3 million since 2008, helping more than one million dogs find homes.
“With adoptions lagging and length of stay rising, our 2025 grants invest in foster expansion and funding transport, behaviour, and disaster relief, so shelters can find homes for more dogs,” says Deb Fair, Executive Director, PEDIGREE Foundation. “We’re proud to have helped more than one million dogs, and we’re doubling down with our partners to grow these lifesaving interventions to help the next million.”
OMHS received funding in 2024 as well.
