With 4 million dogs in need of homes, P&G's Swiffer and Bark & Co., the makers of BarkBox, are partnering this holiday season to provide shelters nationwide with 10,000 Welcome Home Kits to show how easy it is to get a thorough clean in minutes so more families and children can experience the love of a first pet.
Swiffer will also provide a total of $50,000 to select shelters nationwide to support critical projects that will help more dogs find their fur-ever homes.
Actor, dad of three, and rescue pet parent of two, Scott Foley hosted a “Welcome Home” event in New York City today, announcing the effort. At the event, Foley shared his own experience of adoption, played with a bevy of NYC-based adoptable pups and gave out Welcome Home Kits to families who brought home their new best friends.
According to the second annual Swiffer Cleaning Index, 93% of American parents feel that having a pet is one of the most rewarding experiences a child can have. Yet, 75% of parents who do not already have a pet agree that concerns over pet-related messes could prevent them from getting one.
