Today is National Dog Day, established in 2004! It's a day to appreciate our pups and to adopt or foster a dog!
Best Friends Animal Society tells us: "According to the American Pet Products Association, dog ownership increased by nearly 11% in 2020, with roughly 108 million dogs in U.S. households, up from 97 million in 2018."
and they say "Looking for a certain type of dog to adopt? Many of the dogs that enter shelters are purebreds and even trendy mixed breeds, like doodles. No matter what you're looking for, it can be found in a shelter or from a rescue. Check petfinder.com to start your search. Adopting from shelters or rescue groups rather than buying from breeders, pet stores or online retailers saves lives"
REMEMBER ADOPT DON'T SHOP!
