Four Ways To Get Involved In National Mutt Day

July 31 is National Mutt Day – a time to celebrate the mixed breed dog (or dogs) in our lives!
In fact, there are two days each year which are designated specifically for the appreciation of mutts. In addition to the end of July, the second National Mutt Day takes place on December 2.
National Mutt Day was actually conceived in 2005 by Colleen Paige, a pet lifestyle expert and animal rights advocate who has created several pet-related holidays.
The day aims to celebrate mutts of every description, and raise awareness for those mixed breed dogs who are unfortunately left in animal shelters – many of whom are not adopted in favour of purebred dogs.
With millions of healthy, loving mixed breed dogs currently sitting in animal shelters across the United States, National Mutt Day is the perfect day to celebrate everything that is great about mixed-breed dogs. In this article, we’ll list a few ways to mark the occasion.
Here are four things you could do today to contribute to improve the situation for mixed breed dogs around the country.
At Highland Canine, we do our best to help every dog we come into contact with – whether purebred or mixed breed. Over the years, we have helped to rehabilitate several dogs through our Second Chance program.
