Mars End Pet Homelessness

About the Project

The State of Pet Homelessness Project is guided and advised by leading animal welfare experts and organizations. 

Pets that don’t receive the sustained human care they need are at risk of poor health and compromised welfare.

Measuring the scale of pet homelessness is a complex task. To address this challenge, Mars partnered with leading animal welfare experts and organizations to launch the State of Pet Homelessness Project, a global data initiative.

To bring transparency, awareness and insight to the challenge of pet homelessness, we have set out to build a data set that can offer insights into a range of attitudes and behaviors that impact the issue.
