There are lots of dogs looking for a good home, and if you’ve ever thought about adopting one, there’s a path to do so through Pedigree.
If you adopt a dog from a local shelter or rescue organization on "Pedigree Shelter Sunday," which is Nov. 26, the pet food brand will reimburse you for your adoption fee.
Individuals who adopt a dog can submit their adoption receipt to Pedigree between Nov. 28 and Dec. 22.

There is a limit of a one dog adoption fee redemption per home and a maximum reimbursement of $200.
Pedigree notes the deal is valid in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., with $300,000 in total adoption fees available.
Approximately 6 million pets enter U.S. shelters annually, and the number of stray pets living in shelters has soared 26% since 2021, causing overcrowding at the facilities nationwide, Pedigree noted in a company release.
