>> Anyhow, on a happier note, the folks at Hill's Science Diet are spearheading an initiative called Change A Pet's Life Day (USA). The first ten adoptions at participating Hill's partner shelters will be free on January 24, 2009. The lucky owners will also get some pet care goodies including free Hill's Science Diet pet food.
If you're considering getting a cat or a dog; please consider a "recycled pet". There's just something so special about having an animal companion that you've saved from a lethal injection. <<
>> Things are not looking very good for unwanted pets these days - and they seem to be getting worse in the face of our current economy. Animal shelters are always overcrowded, but the problem is becoming even more serious as record numbers of pets are abandoned. The facts are truly heartbreaking. However, if you are in the position to get a new dog (or cat) - you can help. Instead of purchasing a pet or breeding an animal, please consider adopting from a shelter or rescue group!
Hill's Pet Nutrition has declared January 24th "Change a Pet's Life Day." On this day, in an effort to promote the adoption of millions of homeless pets, Hill's will pay for the first ten adoptions at 300 of its partner animal shelters across the United States. They will also send new owners home with free Science Diet dog food (Hill's donates free Science Diet food to shelters across the country to help get pets nutritionally ready for adoption). Teaming up with Hill's is Kyra Sedgwick, star of TNT's The Closer. As a lifelong animal lover and owner of adopted dogs, Sedgwick aims to raise awareness of pet overpopulation and encourage pet adoption and rescue. Check out my interview with Kyra Sedgwick to learn more!
Kyra Sedgwick has become the spokesperson for Change a Pet's Life Day because she truly cares about helping pets. You too can help spread the word about pet adoption to anyone you know who is ready for a dog or cat. If they decide that January 24th is the right time, they have a chance to get a free adoption (they can use the extra cash for other pet expenses)! As always, I cannot talk enough about responsible dog ownership - while pet adoption is a wonderful thing to do, it is only recommended if one is prepared for the commitment. Have you adopted a pet? What was the experience like for you? <<
