National animal day
National animal day it is a celebration of animals and their parents. It is also a day to educate and inform new pet parents about the care and well-being of their furry companion. The day recognizes the importance of animal adoption and supporting rescue organizations. Since adoption brings joy to our lives and at the same time contributes positively to society and animal welfare, this year, we go beyond treats and consider the countless animals waiting for their forever homes in shelters and rescue organizations.
Sushen Roy of Zigly share your view on why adoption is a winning choice, not just on National Pet Day, but every day!
Save a life: Adopting a life from a shelter not only saves lives by giving a second chance to the four-legged furry companion, but also opens up space in the shelter. This helps these rescue centers to provide shelter to other animals.
Unique personalities: Shelters care for different breeds, ages and personalities. It just won’t be limited to popular races; You may find a one-of-a-kind tail-wagging champion with a heart of gold.
Financial advice: Adoption fees are significantly lower than pet prices. The adoption fee often covers spaying, vaccinations and microchipping resulting in reducing the financial load.
Supporting rescue organizations: Encourage friends and family to adopt from shelters instead of buying from pet stores. Volunteer your time and skills to help rescue organizations with animal care and administrative tasks.
Reduce animal overpopulation: The support of breeders fuels the demand for purebred animals, contributing to animal overpopulation. Adoption helps break this cycle.
For good reason: Adopting a pet not only gives it a loving home, but also supports the important work of rescue organizations. These groups rely on adoption fees and donations to continue to rescue and replace animals in need.
After knowing the benefits of animal adoption, there are some ways to support local rescue organizations:
Volunteer: Rescue groups always need a few dedicated volunteers to help with tasks such as walking dogs, transporting animals and assisting groups with events.
Foster: Becoming a foster parent provides a temporary home for animals awaiting adoption. If you can’t commit to a permanent adoption, consider fostering one, which can be beneficial for a pet.
Donate: Financial contributions help shelters provide food, medical care and enrichment activities for all animals. If it is not a financial contribution, you can also contribute some food items to the shelters.
Spread awareness: Inform your friends and family about nearby shelters and the benefits of pet adoption. You can also create more awareness about the shelter by sharing it on social media.
By choosing to adopt, volunteer, support and donate, you can make a difference in the lives of countless animals. For this, you will not only gain a loyal companion, but also make a difference in the life of an animal that deserves it. This National Pet Day, commit to being part of the solution and join the Adopt, Don’t Stop movement.
