October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.
Designated by BOTH The American Society for the Prevention of Animal Cruelty (ASPCA) AND the American Humane Association (AHA), National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month helps to bring awareness to all the wonderful adoptable dogs waiting for their fur-ever homes, and tries to encourage people to adopt, not shop, for their next canine companion.
October is Pit Bull Awareness Month, but did you know that Saturday, October 26th is also the 12th Annual National Pit Bull Awareness Day?? Both celebrations are nationwide initiatives to educate and improve the image of the American Pit Bull Terrier. Help celebrate TWELVE YEARS of advocacy for this loving, loyal breed.

Saturday, October 26th is National Pit Bull Awareness Day.
Celebrating it's 12th year, the day was created for the appreciation and education designed to change perceptions and stereotypes about pit bulls and their responsible owners. National Pit Bull Awareness Day was established to educate and foster positive communications and experiences in the communities in which we and our dogs live, and it is an initiative dedicated to restoring the image of the American Pit Bull Terrier.

Sunday, October 27th, is National Black Cat Day.
Don’t be superstitious! October 27 may be National Black Cat Day, but it is all about celebrating the beauty of these sleek creatures. While this time of year black cats may decorate many thresholds for Halloween and windows for spooky decor, these felines deserve the love and attention just as much as their tabby counterparts. Old notions have given these furry critters a bad reputation. National Black Cat Day is about turning that reputation around.
Show your mini black panther some extra special love today!
Tuesday, October 29th is National Cat Day.
It is a day to celebrate all things CAT!! =^..^=
National Cat Day is observed each year on October 29th. It was founded to help the public recognize the number of cats that need to be rescued. The day also encourages cat lovers to celebrate the cats in their lives, and for the unconditional love & companionship that they bestow upon their owners.
