Inspiring Pet Adoption Stories

The furry friends of some familiar faces

Franklin won big when Penny Oleksiak decided to adopt him

Franklin won big when Penny Oleksiak – swimmer, World Champion, and Canada’s most decorated Olympian ever – brought him home after learning his parents could no longer care for him.

Penny says that knowing the unconditional love of her dogs is waiting for her when she comes home helps her to deal with the pressures of competing at an elite level.

They don’t care if I won or lost.
They are there to offer comfort if I need it.

Since becoming a member of the Oleksiak household, Franklin has really made a splash. The gold medalist’s golden boy has enjoyed the newfound freedom of his beachside home.

“You can tell he’s in his happy place when he’s just able to roam free and do his thing.”

As The Kitten Brand^®, Royale^® believes that everyone, including our four-legged friends, deserves to experience the joy of companionship. That’s why Royale^® has brought back the Royale Home for Every Pet Project™, helping more animal shelters than ever before find forever homes for the 100,000+ cats and dogs in need of adoption every year across Canada.*

Now in its sixth year, the Royale Home for Every Pet Project™ has shelter partners in every province across Canada, helping over 140 locations by generating awareness for their needs, contributing Royale^® products, and raising funds for in-shelter improvements. In 2023, on National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, Royale^® hosted a virtual fundraiser that generated over $125,000 in one weekend for our partner animal shelters across the country!

Royale^® is continuing to raise funds and awareness for shelter animals in need of adoption across Canada. It is our goal that this awareness will benefit shelters nationwide by encouraging adoption, community volunteerism, and donations toward this incredibly important cause.

We are currently working on further initiatives that will continue to help organizations who share our mission of finding every pet a loving, fur-ever home.
