PLUS, TODAY WE CELEBRATE: Mutt Day
National Mutt Day encourages us to embrace, save and celebrate mixed breed dogs twice a year on July 31 and December 2. Desperately longing for a new home, millions of loving and healthy mixed breed dogs in shelters wait for someone to come and adopt them. National Mutt Day provides an excellent opportunity to find the perfect canine companion. Despite the name, a mutt learns, obeys and trains much like purebred animals. While their lineage cannot be traced and their features a bit murky, their companionship will be faithful.
