Saturday, August 17th is Black Cat Appreciation Day.
Black Cat Appreciation Day was launched to show people that a black cat could be the perfect cat for them, and help raise awareness about black cats in general. Because of superstitious beliefs in some cultures, black cats are sometimes associated with bad luck and, sadly, are more likely to be put to sleep or wait a long time to be adopted from shelters. Not only are the superstitions about them bringing bad luck completely untrue, but you might find a black cat to be a fantastic feline companion for you. They truly have very unique personalities! If you’ve been looking for a rescue cat yourself, why not consider a black cat?
If you already own a black cat, on Black Cat Appreciation Day share photos of your special pet and help spread awareness about the day on social media.

Saturday, September 21st is the 17th Annual Responsible Dog Ownership Day.
Observed annually on the third Saturday in September, the day encourages you to make a promise, not just to your loyal hound, but to all of those who may be affected by him. Dogs bring many benefits into our lives and to ensure they remain healthy, happy and safe; we need to be on the look out for their well-being and the well-being of those around them. Many do not take into consideration all the care involved when taking in a canine companion. Their size, energy, medical care, temperament, and many other needs are the dog owner’s responsibility.
Come in and register yourself as a responsible dog owner; sign your Pet Promise, a vow you make to always be the BEST responsible dog owner you can be. We will post it on our store window! We hope to cover the shop with signed promises.
For more information on responsible dog, ownership visit www.akc.org.
