This month, we’re excited to commemorate Adopt a Shelter Dog Month and shed light on how you can make a difference in the lives of our furry friends within the community.
In the United States alone, a staggering 3.1 million dogs find their way into shelters each year, with many still seeking forever homes. We invite you to join us in our mission to boost awareness and extend a helping hand. Here’s how you can participate:
- Share this blog with your friends and family.
- Advocate for adoption over purchasing from breeders.
- Share your heartwarming adoption stories or stories from those you know.
- Engage in and promote local animal shelter events.
- Utilize the hashtag #PawsFirst in your social media posts.
