Today is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day. It’s one of our favorite days for obvious reasons. All 7 of our dogs have come from shelters, and all 7 will be celebrated today.
To start the day off, we bring you a collection of our very best and favorite Baby Piglet pics that will undoubtedly bring smiles, tears, and every emotion in between.
Part of Piglet’s mission is to encourage others to adopt special needs dogs and other pets. But of course, this includes all shelter and rescued animals.
So, enjoy this special day of celebrating shelter pets by adopting your next pet. You can also make a difference by fostering, volunteering, donating, and advocating for those in need. .

Each year, 2.7 million cats and dogs are euthanized in the US because there are too many shelter pets and too few people who consider adopting them. Maya was almost one of those 2.7 million. .
Today is April 30, and it's National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day. Today, we want to help bring awareness to shelters and shelter pets everywhere. We adopted Maya through @theoddcatsanctuary, who pulls so so many cats from death row, and we are grateful for that every single day. .
So please use this photo of Maya from her first week in her forever home, use what Odd Cat does, and use this day and every day as a reminder that adopting shelter pets and supporting local shelters can make a huge, huge difference not just for the animals, but in your life, too. .

Next up in our celebration of National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day lineup is our Tiny Gal Zoey.
Zoey is a 6 pound 4 year old chihuahua maltese yorkie mix from AR. She was rescued by Allie’s Hope Animal Rescue and The Little Pink Shelter with her 5 littermates. She arrived in CT with a life threatening illness. With the generous help of a client, Zoey survived after receiving intensive care for over a week.
Zoey is the most enthusiastic, feisty, devoted little dog. She rarely leaves my side other than to snuggle with Piglet’s favorite dad when Piglet is on my lap.
She is Piglet’s big sister and partner in crime. We love our tiny chocolate chihuahua mix!

Today's #adoptashelterpetday! Miss Jade is an 8 year old lady who is looking for her forever home she's a lovable girl who loves under the neck scratches as you can see in the next slide and is overall an affectionate girl! If there's one thing this girl loves, it's definitely a scratching post since she likes to tear up a scratcher and sharpen her nails on it! Don't be deterred by her age because unlike kittens, you'll know that what you see is what you get with her and that's a whole lot of love come see her at Petco if you're interested in adopting her! #kittykindcats .

Our National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day celebration lineup is up to #6.
Gina is a beautiful girl who also comes from the underworld of dog rescue. She was dumped in the driveway of a rescuer at the age of 10 weeks. She was rescued by Colbert Veterinary Rescue Services in Georgia, the same group that saved Piglet!! She was so feral that it took weeks before anyone could handle her. She is a double merle Aussie Border Collie mix. She is deaf in her left ear and she has congenital eye defects similar to Piglet’s but not so severe. She can see but she has peripheral vision deficits.
I met Gina at a local adoption event where I was looking for a tan terrier for Warren. We were looking for a second dog after losing our two old dogs. Susie needed a sister. I went to look at the white half deaf dog knowing that I wasn’t going to adopt her.
I was happy that she was on hold for someone else so I didn’t have to feel obligated. Oops. As soon as she “put her head on mommy’s shoulder” it was OVER. Poor Warren. He wasn’t going to get his tan terrier that day. Instead I got my white herding dog. And a crazy one at that.
When we brought Gina home Susie couldn’t have been happier. All seemed fine until we went inside and Gina started doing laps. Let’s just say that she was on par with Piglet in the new dog anxiety department. After months of constant work, I convinced her to go in a crate without screaming, and not lunge at cars, cyclists, joggers, and people who walked past us on the street.
Fast forward, as Piglet’s friends can see, Gina is a sweet, devoted, beautiful member of our dog pack. She is a special, special needs dog who appreciates and deserves every effort we have made to make her comfortable and happy.

Did you know that each year, 6 to 8 million dogs and cats will enter shelters and rescue groups, but only about half will be adopted?
This #AdoptAShelterPetDay, we encourage you and your family to stop by your local shelter or rescue and consider bringing a new pet into your loving home. #adoptpurelove #adoptashelterpet
I rescued Chance from @socialteesnyc + Frankie from @loveleorescue and they both have lots of adorable animals ready to be adopted, so please check out their pages!
