October is American Humane's
Adopt-A-Dog Month®

Millions of dogs face euthanasia every year across the country because there are not enough caring homes for them. This is why American Humane’s Adopt-A-Dog Month® was established. Celebrated every October, the tradition promotes dog adoptions from animal shelters and provides an opportunity to spread the word about responsible pet care. Improve your life with a dog’s companionship, and support these voiceless creatures.

“There is a great need for people to adopt dogs from their local animal shelters,” says Marie Belew Wheatley, American Humane Association president and CEO. “By adopting a dog this October, or at any time of year, people are saving the lives of these precious animals and giving them much-needed, loving homes.”

The Animal Shelter and Community Partners Receives Grant from Maddie's Fund

Maddie's Fund®, the Pet Rescue Foundation maddiesfund.org is a family foundation established in 1999 to help fund the creation of a no-kill nation. The first step is to help create programs that guarantee loving homes for all healthy shelter dogs and cats throughout the country. The next step is to save the sick, injured and poorly behaved pets in animal shelters nationwide.
