On May 20th, The National Rescue Dog Day brings a promise of love, friendship, and kindness. Each year, millions of animals, specifically dogs, are abandoned by their owners and end up on the streets. Many of these animals are used to a sheltered life, and this, in turn, makes it difficult for them to fend for themselves out in the world. Food is hard to come by and humans and other animals also pose a threat to these abandoned animals. Animal welfare organizations step in to help by providing a shelter, home, etc. Many of these organizations also encourage people to adopt the dogs, so that they get a new home and to create more space for other dogs in the shelters. Adopting, or even just fostering, helps people and the animals in the long run.
This day was first established by Lisa Wiehebrink. She is an author as well as the founder of “Tails That Teach.”

I, Nutmeg am a rescue that did NOT come from a shelter. Like most of the dogs that shared our Mom's life, we came from homes that could not take care of us properly and our next stop was a shelter. We purray that all dogs get furrever homes that love them and make them so furry happy!
We all have been dancing dogs!
