National Pet Day
Happy National Pet Day! Advocate for and recognize our furry friends on this special day.
National Pet Day is a day to encourage rescuing pets from shelters. It’s also a day to consider the welfare of animals everywhere. At Personalized Cause®, we offer a personalized paw prints awareness ribbon pin to recognize our pets. Customize these pins with a name, date or message. Our hope is that they encourage others to adopt from shelters, take extra special care of their animals, and always be grateful for the love our animals give. Celebrate National Pet Day and consider rescuing another animal to love.
Why Adopt A Pet? You’ll Be Saving A Life!
Many animals that you find in your local animal shelter have been rescued from unfortunate and sometimes traumatic circumstances. For example, some were abandoned, mistreated, neglected, or unable to be cared for by their previous owners. Luckily, caring shelter staff nurse these animals back to health. Further, if they are sick or injured, stays in shelters prepare them for a new and better life as they await their forever home.
When you adopt an animal, you’re saving their life. You’re also providing them a safe, stable, and loving home. In addition, you may truly be saving their life. Some shelters euthanize animals if they are not adopted. We wouldn’t want that to happen to any animal.
Caring For An Animal Has Health Benefits – National Pet Day Information
Studies have found that keeping a pet as a companion has a variety of benefits regarding a person’s health. Although not all scientifically proven, research shows that pet owners, specifically, experienced:
- Reduced stress and anxiety
- Better sleep
- More relaxation
- Lower risk of heart attack
- Reduced allergies to other pets, ragweed, grass, and dust mites
Adopting Saves You Time and Money
In addition, when you adopt a pet from a breeder, the price is often significantly higher than the adoption fee your local shelter asks. Further, many animal shelters handle procedures like microchipping, and spaying or neutering. Shelters also vaccinate before an animal goes to their new home. Cats, for example, are often house-trained at a young age. For that reason, it’s likely that the cat you adopt will already know how to use a litter box. This is regardless of whether they are an adult cat or a kitten.
The Impact of Adopting a Shelter Pet on National Pet Day – Beyond Your Family
By alleviating shelter overcrowding, you are creating space for another animal in need, and most animal shelters operate on limited budgets and rely heavily on donations. Adoption fees can help cover their expenses. By adopting from a shelter, you are providing financial support that enables them to continue their rescue and rehoming efforts.
Adopting a shelter pet from an animal shelter is a truly rewarding experience that brings countless benefits to you and your new companion. From providing a second chance to a deserving animal to experiencing the unparalleled bond and loyalty of a shelter pet, the rewards of adoption are immeasurable. Dogs and cats are both great rescue pets. At shelters there are often bunnies, and perhaps other types of animals, too. Go take a look!
