Change a Pet’s Life Day
It’s an opportunity to recognize the good that shelters do for pets without home, to share information about how to find a new home for shelter animals, and especially to encourage people to adopt pets.
History:
Hill’s Pet Nutrition launched the first ever Change a Pet’s Life Day in 2009. The event was designed to raise awareness about the state of animal shelters and the benefits of adopting an animal over purchasing a pet. For this day, hundreds of shelters and humane societies offered reduced adoption fees. Hill’s also paid the adoption fees for the first 10 pets adopted from each shelter and donated food to adopters.
How To Celebrate/ To-do List Ideas:
- Donate to a shelter.
