Ellen Degeneres shelter pets get 1 million meals for Christmas. Ellen Degeneres is giving a large donation to pet shelters. She teamed up with Halo to make the large delivery.

Degeneres wanted every pet to have a healthy meal this Christmas and she is spreading the Holiday cheer.

“At Halo we want to promote healthy living for pets and eating good food is a big part of that. So, we agreed to donate one million meals of Halo to shelter pets. I mean, imagine, an animal in a shelter, in a cage, lonely – a good meal is kinda all they have to look forward to, until you adopt them!” Ellen said.

Shelter pets are also part of the social awareness stamp “Animal Rescue: Adopt A Shelter Pet” campaign that launched on April 30, 2010.

The talk show host and Halo partnered with a number of non-profit organizations to donate the 1 million meals, including Freekibble, The Humane Society of the US, ASPCA, Pets for Patriots, and The National Canine Cancer Foundation amongst others.
