Mutts are dogs that are of mixed breed and not purebred. These adorable animals account for over 75% of all dogs in the United States found in shelters. In 2000, as a way to draw attention to the issue, author Karen Derrico (Unforgettable Mutts: Pure of Heart Not of Breed) founded the national Mayday For Mutts on the first Sunday in May each year, which is also the commencement of the American Humane Association's "Be Kind to Animals Week."
