Pet owners who adopted a dog from a shelter or rescue organization but don’t know their furry friend’s birthday now have a solution: DOGust 1st.
"DOGust 1st," which falls on August 1, marks the unofficial birthday for pets whose owners adopted them at the shelter or rescue but don’t have a clear answer of when their furry friend was born, according to online pet marketplace Chewy.com.The day got its start in 2008, thanks to staff at the North Shore Animal League America, which calls itself the world’s largest no-kill animal rescue and adoption organization.
Animal lovers may want to give back to these organizations, and there are a number of ways to do so. Adopting a pet or fostering an animal is always a great way to support a local shelter. Donating to an animal shelter can help cover the costs of daily operations, supplies, staff training, animal housing upgrades, community outreach programs, animal enrichment and much more, according to the Humane Society of the United States.
