Let’s see all your adorable rescues! Chief Canine Officers, Miss Sally who we adopted from Hart-2-Heart Rescue in 2019 and Miss Betty, Stepping Stones Canine Rescue alum joining our pack in 2021 ask you to Adopt Don’t Shop and join them in celebrating National Rescue Dog Day.
Get involved in the lives of rescue dogs! There are a variety of ways to share the puppy love…
ADOPT: If there is room in your life for a dog, consider adopting and giving one a forever home.
FOSTER: Many dogs abandoned to shelters benefit from socialization, or would just thrive better away from the shelter environment. Others may be in need of some medical care or rehabilitation in a home setting before an adoption can take place.
HELP A SHELTER: Shelters always need support. In addition to financial donations, shelters have a list of much needed items such as blankets, toys, treats, and leashes. You can also host a bake sale, car wash, or other event to raise funds for the shelter.
VOLUNTEER: Help out at your local shelter. Taking dogs for walks, grooming, and giving them plenty of affection improves their socialization.
SPAY/NEUTER: Be responsible for your pets. Overpopulation is the number one reason shelters exist.
EDUCATE: Teach young children the importance of kindness, unconditional love, and responsible care of all animals.
