Pedigree Foundation Core Values:

We believe shelter dogs should be celebrated for their contribution to the quality of life on earth. From catching balls and having room to run, all dogs, even those in temporary homes, deserve the chance to be dogs as they patiently wait to be welcomed into a forever home.

We celebrate shelters and their good work to help homeless dogs. We know that each shelter is unique with different facilities and resources, but we believe that shelters should, at a minimum, adhere to the following standards of care to ensure that each dog has the best life it can before he or she finds a loving home.
