The theme of this day is “Adopt! Don't shop!”
We
are urged to adopt new pets from animal shelters, where 16,000
creatures (including more than 600 baby animals) die each and every
day in the U.S. alone.
Even
if you don't want a new pet, you can help save lives by donating
money to spay/ neuter programs of your local animal shelters and
rescues. Even a dollar a month can make a difference to these
worthwhile programs!
Some
people help save animal lives by holding adoption events or putting
on car washes or bake sales to raise money for local shelters. Or
check out the official website.
The
lighter side of National Pet Day might involve showing off your pets
at show-and-tell or a Pet Show (organize a relaxed-but-fun “pet
show” for your friends!) posting pictures of your pets on a social
network, and giving your pets a special treat in honor of the day!
Here are some dog treat recipes, and here are some recipes for cat
treats.
