Buffalo’s Home 4 the Holidays adoption drive rescues one million pets
Blue Buffalo
celebrated 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.

Examiner EXCLUSIVE: PuppySwap dog trade in service video does viral
 |
| Photo by archangel raphael Foter CC BY-ND |
The Toronto Humane Society pulled an educational prank on the public by posting a video for “the world’s first puppy subscription service" to YouTube on Jan. 8. The service allows its users to purchase a puppy they can love until it gets older and less desirable. Users can then swap out their grown-up dog for a new, fluffy and more "likable" puppy. By Jan. 13- only 5 days later- the video has had over 79, 000 views and a slew of online comments.
The fake service is advertised like the real deal until the very end of the commercial when it is revealed that it is a prank to educate and raise awareness about pet abandonment. This service allows users to choose their dog based on breed, user rating and what is trending. The video also shows users selecting a dog based on "adorability." Often in pet abandonment cases the dog was adopted for its looks and the traits and behaviors of the breed were ignored.
