Yellow Dog Day and The Pedigree Adoption Drive
June 4th 2010 is Yellow Dog Day. This marks the official kick off to the 2010 Pedigree Adoption Drive which runs from the 4th-30th July.
All dogs deserve a loving home but sadly, every year over 100,000 homeless dogs are euthanised in Australia.
To try and address this situation, Pedigree has partnered with PetRescue to champion an annual initiative known as The Pedigree Adoption Drive, which is now in it’s 3rd year.

Here are a few beautiful furry friends adopted and found new loving homes with the members of All for Women. Read their heart warming stories and see how rewarding adoption can be. Thank you girls for sharing your stories.
Di from QLD-Maggie has given us so much love, the fist couple of days we had her she was shy & very timid & only weighed 2.5kilo, now she weighs 4kilo & is perfect for her height, she’s cheeky & bossy & takes over my bed but we love her to bits. She has personality plus! She was found wandering the street, i just can’t believe someone would let her go but it turned out to be our lucky day when we saw her at the RSPCA.
Heather from NSW-Rosie, a Kelpie X was adopted from RSPCA Yagoona after being rescued from an abusive environment. Lewis was born at the same facility, but his mother and siblings didn’t survive. They are my comfort, my sanity and my humour.
Nicole from QLD does an amazing job working for the RSPCA, these are just a few of the many dogs they have rehabilitated and helped find new homes.
Olive: Came in with massive scraps down her back (we believe she fell off the back of a ute). She was rehomed with another shelter dog last month.
Tala: Came into the shelter with no fur, had really bad mange, took over a year to get him back to a healthy coat, about 6 months into his treatment he looked great but he lost all his fur again. He got adopted to a lovely couple who previously adopted another dog from us, last we heard, he is doing wonderfully and is being very good (he was naughty, used to chew on everything and has almost knocked me out a few times being so jumpy and excited).
Snuffy: He was surrendered over because supposedly he was biting the kids, we did a number of tests on him and he never once tried to hurt anyone, he had on lead introductions with children and he was fine, I think the kids were way to rough for him. He was in adoptions for over 6 months and got adopted to a paramedic who fell in love with him and came out weekly until she was certain she wanted him.
