October Is Adopt-A-Dog Month At The American Humane Society

Published A Few Days Ago

This month, help the American Humane Society give some precious pooches the forever homes they deserve

Did you know there are 3 to 4 million animals waiting to be adopted from shelters at any given time? The numbers are pretty staggering, and we can all agree that each and every one of those shelter animals deserves a loving home with pet parents who adore them.

If you’re looking to adopt a dog, making a shelter your first stop is one of the best things you can do. With so many pets just waiting for a home, you’re sure to find one who will be a perfect fit for you or your family.

What are you waiting for?

In honor of Adopt-A-Dog Month, the American Humane Society is providing a number of ways you can participate, even if you’re already the proud parent of a rescue dog.

Well, we’re in. What about you — how do you plan to celebrate Adopt-A-Dog Month this year?
