Shelters Rock!
I thought National Animal Shelter Appreciation was a month long event. It should be! So even though it ends Saturday, don’t stop showing your support for your local animal shelters. I hope we never have to worry about what would happen to homeless animals if we didn’t have shelters and rescues to turn to.
Your local animal shelter cares for displaced animals and adopts them into new homes. It investigates cruelty and neglect, reunites lost pets with their families, teaches kids to care about animals, and provides spay/neuter services.
“In 1996, The HSUS launched National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week (based on an idea from the Capital Humane Society in Lincoln, Nebraska). This campaign was designed to acknowledge and promote the invaluable role shelters play in their communities and to increase public awareness of animal welfare issues and shelter services. During National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, the first full week of every November, The HSUS promotes and celebrates animal shelters across the country through media and public outreach. “ Taken from www.hsus.org
