Mark April 26th on your calendar dog lovers. It’s National Dog Day! Sponsored by the National Dog Day Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping shelter dogs find forever homes.

Founder Colleen Paige “felt it was time to honor dogs more than we currently do, to give them “a day”, to show deep appreciation for our long connection to each other - for their endearing patience, unquestioning loyalty, for their work, their capacity for love and their ability to impact our lives everyday in the most miraculous ways.”

The goal of this year’s National Dog Day is to save 10,000 homeless dogs with the help of dog loving businesses and humane organizations and dog-loving citizens everywhere. Want to help?

Hurray for dogs!
