 America’s Vote Will Help PEDIGREE® Brand Select The Next Communities to Benefit from The PEDIGREE® Feeding Project




NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 22, 2013) – Grammy award-winner Miranda Lambert knows what it takes to record a number one album – she’s had four of them. And as a mom to six adopted dogs, she also knows what it takes to help the nation’s more than four million shelter dogs find their loving homes – access to consistent, professional nutrition so they look and feel their best. That’s why the country superstar is teaming up with the PEDIGREE Brand to launch a search for the next communities to benefit from The PEDIGRE Feeding Project, an initiative started in Nashville and Chicago that supplies participating shelters with 100 percent of their core dog food needs, at absolutely no cost.

 “I’m amazed every day by the unconditional love I receive from all of my adopted dogs. That’s why it means so much to me to partner with PEDIGREE, a brand that truly believes in finding dogs loving homes as much as I do,” remarked Miranda Lambert. "PEDIGREE® knows that there are so many communities that have an abundance of homeless dogs, and together we want to help. That’s why we’re asking people to nominate their community at Facebook.com/PEDIGREE and spread the word about this incredible program. Every nomination helps raise awareness for dog adoption."

Lambert will officially open The PEDIGREE® Feeding Project “Choose the Next Community” nomination period today at The Americana at Brand in Los Angeles, Calif. by unveiling her latest video project that showcases her love of dogs and why this initiative is important to shelter dogs from coast-to-coast.

The PEDIGREE® Feeding Project 
As the world's largest dog food brand, PEDIGREE® Food for Dogs realizes it has the potential to impact more dogs’ lives than any other brand. That’s why it chose to focus on where it can make the biggest immediate difference – cities with an abundance of homeless pets – starting in 2012 with Nashville and Chicago. Already, more than 4,000 shelter dogs are receiving the professional nutrition they deserve through The PEDIGREE® Feeding Project’s first year and now the PEDIGREE® 

“When shelters don’t need to worry about how they are going to be able to feed their dogs or pay for the food, resources become available to expand and promote adoption programs,” said Jeff Hingher, senior brand manager, PEDIGREE® Brand. “Through The PEDIGREE® Feeding Project, we are able to do what we do best – provide shelter dogs with access to premium nutrition, and help these great dogs find loving homes.”

As a result of the support from PEDIGREE® Brand, shelters in Chicago and Nashville were able to save anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000 a year, which allowed them to participate in activities such as off-site adoption events, expanding the audience of potential adopters; as well as update their facilities to provide a more home-like environment for the dogs, which helps the dogs transition more easily into their new loving home. When dogs are fed a consistent diet of professional nutrition, they are happier and healthier while they wait for their forever homes.

HERE IS WHERE YOU COME IN!!!
