Happy National Rescue Dog Day!
Today we’re celebrating the dogs who remind us that second chances can come with wagging tails, happy zoomies and a whole lot of love.
Rescue dogs come in every size, age, personality and energy level, from couch potatoes to adventure buddies to “I swear I’m a lap dog” giants. Behind every adoption is a local rescue doing the hard, heart-filled work of helping these pets find safe and loving homes.
If you’ve been thinking about adding a new family member, consider starting local. Visit, share, foster, donate or simply help spread the word. Every little action helps a rescue dog get one step closer to home.
We’re proud to highlight some wonderful local adoption resources, including:
-Lehigh Valley Humane Society
-The Sanctuary at Haafsville
-Peaceable Kingdom
-The Center for Animal Health & Welfare
And from all of us at Animal Therapy Center: whether your dog came from a rescue, breeder, shelter or straight off the “I found you and now you’re mine” express, we’re here to help them move, feel and live their best life!
Here’s to rescue dogs, the people who love them and the organizations that never stop showing up for them.
