🐾 Happy National Mutt Day! 🐾
Today we celebrate the beautiful, quirky, one-of-a-kind faces of mixed-breed dogs. While “designer dogs” get most of the buzz, mutts bring their own special s***k, Yet they’re often the ones most overlooked. Sadly, mixed-breed dogs are at the highest risk of being abandoned and euthanized. In fact, around 80% of dogs in shelters are mutts, and purebreds are usually adopted much faster.
National Mutt Day was created in 2005 by animal advocate Colleen Paige to change that raising awareness, encouraging adoption, and helping more mixed-breed dogs find the families they deserve! ❤️
Whether you’re thinking about adopting or you simply want to show some love, here are a few easy ways to join in:
✨ Visit your local shelter—and maybe meet your future best friend
✨ Volunteer your time to give shelter pups some extra care
✨ Donate food, blankets, toys, or funds to support rescue efforts
✨ Share photos and stories of your favorite mutts to inspire others
✨ Already have a mixed-breed buddy? Treat them to extra snuggles, goodies, or a fun day out!
Let’s celebrate the beauty, joy, and uniqueness of every mutt. 🐶❤️
