It's National Make A Dog’s Day!
On October 22 Subaru (yes the car company) created a holiday that invited dog-lovers to go the extra mile for a pup.
#MakeADogsDay is a reminder to adopt a pet instead of buying a new one, by encouraging everyone to visit a shelter.
"Make A Dog’s Day began as a way for Subaru to say thank you to the pets who support us, love us and make our world a better place.” Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President, Marketing of Subaru of America, Inc said.
3.1 million dogs enter shelters in the U.S. annually, after being relinquished by their owners, and 15% of the animals are euthanized. The need for adoption is overwhelming, and one way to make a dog's day is giving them a new home. Adopting a pet, saves a life, helps stop animal cruelty, and saves money for spaying, neutering, vaccination and sometimes microchipping.
So, today help a buddy out. If you're looking to fill that space of loneliness in your life, adopt a pet today!
