Dog Adoption Month

It's that time of year again to make your way over to your local animal shelter or humane society.  October is the United States dog adoption month.  During the month of October, adoptions will be taking place at local parks, stores, and several adoption fairs. 

According to Dogs 4 Life, many dog pounds  will offer discounts or waive fees entirely on dog adoptions.  Another way you can help is visiting fundraising events and/or dog fairs,  where the money raised by several participants will be used to help support homeless dogs.  Other ways you can help is donate blankets, dog sweaters, supplies, money to local shelters or volunteer at a local dog pound.   


Spread the word to everyone you know about dog adoption month.  Homeless dogs and puppies need a loving family and home to go to.
