National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day

Thousands of homeless animals are waiting for (and requiring) adoption from the shelters each year. On April 30th, National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day raises funds for thousands of pets that are waiting for (and needing) adoption from the shelters each year.

Animal shelters need year-round support, and adoption is a part of the process. Since animals come in daily, the shelters must respond quickly to ensure the animal's wellbeing and well being. Only then will they be able to be adopted into their forever home. In addition, the day encourages you to visit a shelter near you and find your new fur baby. For the long run, visit the shelter to consider all the things the dog or cat needs..

Consider helping in other ways if you find that you can't satisfy those needs. Volunteering gives you the opportunity to give your time to others. Not only does this help the animals by providing them with exercise, companionship, and socialization, but it also gives you the wonderful animal love we all love.

You can also check the shelter's donation needs list. Bring the items you are able to give. The shelter animals will be able to return to their forever homes more quickly.
