National Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Month

Sunday, September 30, 2007

Shelter DogOctober is generally accepted as "National Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Month", where pet businesses make an extra effort to encourage Americans to adopt a lonely dog instead of buying a puppy.

(Besides, you can find puppies at shelters also)

Most dogs in shelters are happy healthy pets who were guilty of nothing more than being unloved. Making matters worse, is that they don't have long to live, with most shelters killing dogs that don't get adopted in a matter of days.

Organizations like PETA and HSUS don't help out either, offering to do the killing for the shelters, instead of using their money to provide permanent homes.

If you've been wanting a dog, please visit your local animal shelter and give a four-legged bundle of happiness another chance at life.
