This is part of the biggest ever global initiative that spans from Mexico and US to Europe and Asia, covering a total of 12 countries around the world. It addresses the issue of pet homelessness by promoting pet adoption. In partnership with local pet shelters, Mars has digitalized adoption experience making it simple and responsible with focus on compatibility via an innovative adoption portal, WeR4HappyTails. Since its launch in the Philippines, this portal alone helped over 160 shelter pets find their forever homes and educated thousands of potential pet parents on responsible pet ownership.
A highlight of the WeR4HappyTails portal is the Compatibility Quiz that matches adopters with their prospective pets that are available for adoption in real time in the nearest shelters. Commitment to compatibility helps reduce pet abandonment and increases the likelihood of long-lasting, healthy and happy relationships between pets and pet parents and ensuring that both parties thrive in their new environment.

In photo: pet parents receive goodies from Pedigree.Mr. Brian Poe-Llamanzares, National Chairman of FPJ Panday Bayanihan and Former Chief-of-Staff at the Office of Senator Grace Poe, who attended the event, commended Mars’ timely and meaningful initiative to advocate responsible pet ownership in relation to the motion of Sen. Poe’s office to revise the Animal Welfare Act.
“As an advocate of animal welfare, we seek a revised Animal Welfare Act to strengthen animal welfare standards, policies, rules and regulations, implementation and enforcement. Much is to be done, but I thank our partners such as Mars Petcare who continue to fight for the rights and welfare of the most underrepresented sector— the animals and our pets”.

As part of the Global Adoption Weekend, Mars is inviting pet parents to play their part in supporting shelter pets by participating in a social media campaign to share their compatibility stories about their adoption experience. For each social media post within this weekend with the hashtags #MarsPetAdoption #MarsPetAdotionSEA and #CommitToCompatibilitySEA, Mars will donate petfood to Filipino shelters. The post with the most likes will also win 1 month’s free supply of pet food, and two lucky runners-up will receive a special box of Pedigree goodies.

MANILA, PHILIPPINES (October 17, 2024) – Global athletic leader New Balance proudly unveils the latest installation to its ‘Run Your Way’ campaign to empower the individuality of runners everywhere. This initiative emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to running – whether for fitness, fun, or mental well-being; there’s no right way to run, only your way.
Embracing all levels and styles
Running is often viewed through the lens of competition – fast times, distance goals, and the relentless pursuit of improvement. While these aspects have their place, this campaign shifts the focus to inclusivity and self-empowerment. Whether someone is running to maintain fitness, manage stress, or simply for fun, all runners are celebrated equally.
With ‘Run Your Way,’ New Balance aims to break down barriers to entry, removing the pressure of comparison. It speaks to beginners who may feel intimidated by the culture of speed or distance, as well as seasoned athletes who find joy in setting their own pace. At its core, this initiative reminds everyone that running should be an expression of personal freedom, not conformity.
The gear for your run
New Balance is renowned for its extensive lineup of running shoes, championed not only for their unmatched comfort and durability but also for catering to runners of all kinds—even those with flat feet or arch issues. From the first-time jogger to the seasoned marathoner, the goal is to ensure that every runner feels confident and ready to hit the ground running.
As part of the campaign, New Balance is highlighting featured products – designed to empower runners at every level and support them in making their journey truly their own.
Ready to run your way? Explore the new collection by visiting any New Balance store and find the perfect gear that suits your unique running journey. It’s time to lace up, hit your stride, and embrace your run—your way.
