Today is National Dog Day, (August 26th). This day is a day to celebrate dog ownership of all breeds. If you are looking to get a new furry friend make sure to consider the dogs at shelters or rescues, mixes, purebreds, and everything in between. Share a picture of your furry friend!
Whether mixed or purebred, embrace the opportunity for all dogs to live a happy, safe, and abuse-free life. They all give us companionship. Additionally, they keep us safe, and they aid those in need. Dogs play. Well, they play many roles in our lives, too! They keep us healthy, both physically and mentally.

While many days aim to find loving homes for dogs, this day expands that consideration to look beyond the breed. Look into the heart of the animal. The purpose of the National Dog Day Foundation is to rescue 10,000 dogs each year.
