On National Puppy Day, people are encouraged to spend time with puppies, whether they have one of their own or visit a local animal shelter. It's a great opportunity to spread love and kindness to these adorable furry friends.
This day also aims to raise awareness about the harsh realities that many puppies face, such as abandonment, neglect, and abuse. By promoting adoption from shelters and rescues, National Puppy Day helps to reduce the number of puppies in need of homes and supports efforts to end puppy mills, which are breeding facilities that prioritize profit over the well-being of animals.

By coming together to celebrate puppies, we can make a positive difference in their lives and promote a world where every puppy has a loving and caring home.
