October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month

Adopt, volunteer, donate to your local shelters and rescues.

We need to end this!

October may be Adopt a Shelter Dog Month—but the sad truth is not every dog has the loving home she deserves. The numbers can be staggering. Up to 60% of dogs and puppies who enter animal shelters nationwide will never find a home. This figure is a sobering reminder that our nation’s pet homelessness problem is real, and the toll on these innocent animal victims is tragic and unacceptable. However, there is hope. Helping animals find loving, forever homes is one of the ASPCA’s top priorities and we are making a difference! The ASPCA helps tens of thousands of homeless animals find homes every year. With your help, the ASPCA can continue to save countless homeless animals through our life-saving efforts. Please consider giving to the ASPCA today. Together we can rescue animals in every state from homelessness and cruelty.
