National Dog Day started in 2004, and continues to grow in popularity. Since its beginning, an estimated one million dogs have been saved through adoption in the U.S. 

There is a dog out there for everyone! Whether you like big dogs or small dogs, every pup should be celebrated on National Dog Day, August 26. Give a dog, a safe, happy and abuse-free life. Adopt A Dog.

Whether you choose to celebrate by volunteering at a rescue home, making a donation to a shelter, or by giving your furry friend an extra big cuddle, make sure you spend this day acknowledging just how awesome dogs are.
