Let's help shelter pets together

October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, and all month long, we're donating a portion of our proceeds to support shelter dogs in need. That means when you buy a Wisdom Panel DNA test, you're not only learning more about your pet, you're helping other pets, too.

Meet our shelter partners

For every Wisdom Panel™ kit purchased in October, we’ll donate $1 to our partners so pets waiting for their forever homes can get the care they need and deserve.

Why adopt a shelter dog?

Because every pup has a story. And when you adopt a dog, you’re creating the first of many new chapters—for both of you. There are so many experiences you’ll have together. The park meet-cute. The case of the missing squeaky toy. The late night walk marathon. The slobbery couch kiss. You get the idea.  Wisdom Panel™ helps you understand where your pets came from. But only you can decide how their story will evolve. That’s why we want to help dogs turn the page—by finding their family.  Adopt a shelter pup, and create your happy ending together.
