No Love Like Puppy Love!
On National Puppy Day & Every Day!
"Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole."
... Roger Caras
Who can resist the charm of a puppy? I know I certainly can't! Their playful energy, adorable faces, and boundless affection make them irresistible companions.
National Puppy Day, celebrated annually on March 23rd, was founded in 2006 by pet lifestyle expert Colleen Paige. This special day serves a dual purpose: to celebrate the joy that puppies bring into our lives and to raise awareness about the many young dogs in shelters desperately in need of loving, forever homes. Additionally, it shines a spotlight on the cruel realities of puppy mills—inhumane breeding facilities that prioritize profit over the well-being of animals, often subjecting dogs to deplorable conditions.
“You can usually tell that a man is good if he has a dog who loves him.”
... W. Bruce Cameron
All of my dogs have been adopted, not "shopped." And without a doubt they have been very much loved! I never fail to be appalled by the thought of so many shelters in the Greater Charlotte area, alone, that house and foster puppies waiting for adoption. The numbers are staggering.
“Everybody should have a shelter dog. It’s good for the soul.”
... Paul Shaffer
HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT NATIONAL PUPPY DAY
- Make a monetary donation to a local shelter.
- Make a contribution of supplies to a local shelter--they will tell you what they need. And that information is also often available on-line on a shelter's website.
-
Adopt a puppy at your local shelter and give it a great home and lots of love. The love you give will be returned in spades! These animals just somehow know you are their rescuer and love you forever for it!
On National Puppy Day... don't let the day pass without doing something nice in support of this cause! You'll be glad you did! By the way, if you're in the process of buying a house think about how much a loving puppy will help turn that house into a real home!
“When the dog looks at you, the dog is not thinking what kind of a person you are. The dog is not judging you.”
... Eckhart Tolle
“My fashion philosophy is, if you’re not covered in dog hair, your life is empty.”
... Elayne Boosler
