National Shelter Week is Almost Here!

WHAT: National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week 2007

WHY:Animal shelters are a vital resource in their communities. A shelter is a safe haven for animals, a great place to adopt a new family pet, and many also provide emergency animal services, important resources for pet owners, and community education on humane issues.

WHEN:November 4-10, 2007 (the first full week of every November)

WHERE:National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week is celebrated coast to coast -- contact local animal control and sheltering organizations to find out what events might be planned, and what individuals can do to show support.
