April 30th is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! Did you know that 70% of American households have a pet? Pet ownership has been on the rise in recent years and approximately 23 million households in the US brought a new pet home during the first year of the pandemic.

Adopt a Shelter Pet Day raises awareness for the many animals living in shelters and rescues while they wait for their forever homes. If you're ready to adopt— or want to help through volunteering or donations— you can start at these local organizations!
