Celebrate DOGust 1st^® at a Shelter Near You!

Rescue dogs deserve birthday celebrations and that was the thinking when North Shore Animal League America declared the first day of August as DOGust 1st^®, the official birthday of all rescue dogs or as we like to call them, Mutt-i-grees. To get the pawty started, we’ve teamed up with shelter and rescue groups across the country to help these amazing dogs find loving, responsible homes of their own. Find a shelter near you and get ready to bring home a lifetime of unconditional love.

Losing a pet…or a lost pet?
The difference is profound.

As awful as it is to have to euthanize a beloved friend, there is comfort in knowing you freed her from suffering. But there’s another way to lose a pet that I think is even worse, and because July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month, I want to talk about this important topic, no matter how terrifying it is.

When you look into the face of a Sponsor Pet you see more than chronic illness and injury. You see the face of a loving companion animal. When you join our Pet Sponsorship Program you give special needs pets, and newborns in our nursery, a chance to feel that love for a lifetime.
