international Dogs Day 26th August


International Dog Day was founded in 2004 by pet and family lifestyle expert, animal rescue advocate, conservationist, dog trainer and author, Colleen Paige. She also set up other pet holidays, including National Kitten Day and even National Wildlife Day. In 2013, International Dog Day was even officially adopted into New York State Legislation. 

This annual celebration on the pet calendar involves spoiling our dogs with affection, sure, but it also comes with a pretty serious message, too. Like National Rescue Dog Day, this day dedicated entirely to dogs looks to bring attention to the plight of animals around the globe and encourages adoption.

 
With millions of dogs winding up in shelters across the country each year, choosing to adopt rather than shop has never been more important. If you've been considering welcoming a new pup into your home, be sure to read our guide on how to adopt a dog before you do so. It has everything you need to know to help ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.
