“Saving 10,000 Dogs – One Day at a Time”. –Colleen Paige, National Dog Day Founder August 26 — National Dog Day

This day has TWO goals: To honor dogs, and to rescue dogs from homelessness and abuse.
In addition to giving love and companionship, dogs help us out in countless ways. They are watchdogs for our safety. They lead the blind, aid in search and rescue, and seek out bombs and drugs.
Unfortunately, dogs also need us to save them from homelessness and abuse. Lend a hand to help a dog in need today, or any day!
