Here's a bit about some
of our annual holidays and what they mean to animals everywhere!
August
26th -
National Dog Day serves to help galvanize the public to recognize the
number of dogs that need to be rescued each year, and acknowledges family
dogs and dogs that work selflessly each day to save lives, keep us safe
and bring comfort. Dogs put their lives on the line every day - for their
law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for a child who is
disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and
pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage, saving their lives and often
grieving the dead and dying they cannot save.

March
23rd - National
Puppy Day is not only a day to celebrate the puppies in our lives, for how
much joy, unconditional love and friendship they offer us, but to
acknowledge the great need that many homeless puppies have for a loving
and forever home and to educate the public about animal cruelty! Visit
your local all year to find wonderful puppies that need a forever home!
December
2nd - National Mutt
Day is yet another day to focus on shelter dogs that need rescue and
forever loving homes. Many people are proud of their Mutts and although
they are not socially looked at as "pure-fect".... caretakers of
mixed breeds feel that they are better behaved, healthier and just simply
more easy to take care of than many pedigree dogs. Mixed breeds make up
90% of all dogs in shelters awaiting new homes.

October
29th
- One
purpose of National Cat Day is to help galvanize the public to recognize
the number of cats that need to be rescued each year. Another is to urge
you to celebrate the cat(s) in your life, to give them unconditional love
for the companionship they bestow.

March
1st -
National Horse Protection Day serves to bring
awareness to the number of abused and neglected horses that need forever
homes and also to create public awareness about horse slaughter and
encourage horse lovers to get involved and spread the word about the
plight of horses in America. National Horse Protection Day will support
legislation to end horse slaughter and support legitimate animal
sanctuaries, rescues and shelters for everything they do to help preserve
the lives of these great creatures. We want to educate children....our
planet's future caretakers and conservationists of the importance to be
kind to all animals. National Horse Protection Day will also encourage
citizens to stand up and fight for animals in their community that need a
voice.

September
4th - National
Wildlife Day is a day to reflect on the animal kingdom, how important it
is to our own survival and to enjoy the magic and wonderment it offers to
us. This day will encourage and promote conservation, educate the public
by highlighting endangered species in need of preservation and highlight
zoo's, wildlife parks and animal sanctuaries around the country -
encouraging people to donate much needed funding. It will also encourage
all zoo's to participate with an event on National Wildlife Day, thus
increasing sales to the public and generating badly needed revenue for
their animals.
National Wildlife Day will be celebrated on the last day Steve Irwin
graced this planet....
We fight for the animals in honor of him. |
More to be added soon!
