All this month has been named Adopt-A-Dog Month(R) by the American Humane Association. Noting animal shelters even more full than usual due to the economic climate, the association urges potential pet owners to consider shelter adoptions.
“Economic times are tight. Now, more than ever, there is a real need and a great reason for people who want a dog, to get it from their local animal shelter or rescue group,” says Marie Belew Wheatley, president and CEO of American Humane. “Shelters are literally packed with obedient, loving, trained dogs right now. By adopting a dog from a shelter this October, or at any time, people can save the lives of these precious animals and give them much-needed, loving homes.”
This year’s American Humane Adopt-A-Dog Month is being sponsored by Fetchdog.com.
