National Rescue Dog Day is about finding forever homes for the more than 3.3 million dogs in shelters yearly. Event champion Tails That Teach, Inc. makes the following suggestions on how best to observe this day:
ADOPT: If there is room in your life for a dog, consider adoption and giving one a forever home.
FOSTER: Many dogs abandoned in shelters benefit from socialization or would thrive better away from the shelter environment. Others may require medical care or rehabilitation in a home setting before an adoption can take place.
DONATE: Shelters always need donations. In addition to financial contributions, shelters have a list of much-needed items such as blankets, toys, treats, and leashes.
VOLUNTEER: Help out at your local shelter. Taking dogs for walks, grooming them, and giving them affection improves their socialization.
Spay/neuter: Be responsible for your pets. Overpopulation is the number one reason shelters exist.
