Show your love for shelter pets this Celebrate Shelter Pets Day - adopt, donate, or simply spread the word and make a difference!
Celebrate Shelter Pets Day on December 5 is the perfect time to show your appreciation for all of our furry friends in shelters! This special day was created in 2019 by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) as a way to recognize pets that have been rescued from shelters and raise awareness about proper pet care. Whether you are an animal lover or just looking for some companionship, Celebrate Shelter Pets Day is a great opportunity to bring home a lovable new family member.
Save a life and bring home a new furry friend from your local animal shelter. When you adopt a pet, you’ll help reduce the number of homeless pets in your community.
Many shelters need temporary caregivers for their animals. Fostering is a great way to give back and provide love and care to an animal in need.
Shelters are always looking for donations such as food, bedding, toys, bowls, collars and leashes. Even if you’re unable to foster or adopt, you can still help animals in need.
If you’re feeling up for it, volunteer at your local shelter! You can walk dogs, clean cages, play with cats, help with adoption events and more.
Let your friends and family know about Celebrate Shelter Pets Day by posting on social media or sharing stories of shelter pets you know!
Shelter Pets Day is a great opportunity for pet owners and animal lovers to come together and celebrate their love of pet adoption. It's a day to recognize the joys of owning an adopted pet and all they bring to our lives.
Celebrating Shelter Pets Day serves as an important reminder that there are thousands of homeless animals in shelters just waiting to be adopted into loving homes. Not only does it encourage people to adopt pets instead of buying them, but it also helps spread awareness about overcrowded shelters and the need for foster homes and adopter families.
The people who work at animal shelters and rescues dedicate their lives to helping displaced animals find loving forever homes. Celebrating Shelter Pets Day is a great way to show your appreciation for their hard work and the important role they play in society.
