Focus Areas
For its 2022 annual grants, PEDIGREE Foundation will be focused exclusively on the following types of programs, which are greatly increasing adoption rates across the animal welfare community:
- Transport programs that support organizations in moving dogs from areas of overpopulation to areas where they’re more likely to be adopted.
- Foster programs that move dogs temporarily into loving homes while they await adoption, with foster parents to care and advocate for them.
- Behavior programs that help with socialization, training, and stress relief so dogs can move beyond behaviors that might hinder their adoption into loving, forever families.
- Matching programs that help increase the likelihood that shelter dogs will bond with their adopters by helping find the best fit for the dogs and potential adopters.
Funding Information
- Annual Grants
- DOGS RULE Grants ($100,000) – These two-year grants ($50,000 per year) will be awarded to fund new, creative, and innovative initiatives that not only help their own organizations but also could serve as best-practice models for other shelters and rescues to help increase dog adoption rates.
- Program Development Grants ($5,000 – $15,000) – These grants will support activities that expand the operational capability of shelters or rescues to improve dog adoption rates. This includes the expansion of existing programs or new programs.
Criteria
- In 2022, PEDIGREE Foundation plans to support over $1M in grant funding, and they encourage every interested 501(c)(3) shelter and rescue to apply.
