Have you ever adopted or considered adopting a pet? Of all the pets in American homes, only 29% were adopted from a shelter or rescue. Each year approximately 3-4 million pets are adopted, but 2.7 million still lose their lives each year for lack of a home.
Seventeen million people will acquire a pet within the next year. The Shelter Pet Project, a collaborative effort between The Humane Society of the United States, Maddie’s Fund® and the Ad Council, hopes to encourage these prospective pet owners to adopt shelter and rescue pets.
Here is just one of those shelter pets:

Kid should brush teeth for two minutes twice a day
I learned a good way to get my kids to brush their teeth — a video would definitely do this (my four year old responds to that).
I learned theres an app for that! Who knew?
I LEARNED THAT Gently rubbing your child’s gums with a clean finger, a small, cool spoon or a wet gauze pad can soothe them.

i learned that The Shelter Pet Project launched in 2009 !
I learned that there are three kinds of adoption organizations: municipal animal shelters, private humane societies and SPCAs and rescue organizations.
I learned not to go back. I would love to take them all and give them a home. We live in an apartment and have a bully so no more dogs for us. It’s really sad to see so many animals that still need homes.
