National Mutt Day
December 2
National Mutt Day, celebrated on July 31st and December 2nd, shines a spotlight on the countless mixed-breed dogs eagerly waiting in shelters and rescues for a loving home. These affectionate and healthy dogs are often overlooked in favor of purebred animals, despite possessing the same capacity for learning, loyalty, and love. Adopting a mutt provides a deserving dog with a forever home and creates a space in the rescue or shelter for another dog in need. Each mixed-breed dog is unique, offering a blend of characteristics that might surprise and delight you. By choosing to adopt a mutt, you are not only gaining a pet but also a lifelong friend who will reward your kindness with unwavering devotion.
