National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day

Adoption is the answer!

Tuesday, April 30th is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day. Celebrate all week with us! It is estimated that each year 6.5 million animals enter U.S. shelters. That’s a lot of important reasons to take action today! Below are just a few ways you can make a difference in the life of a homeless pet.


Increase Your Impact

Flights to Freedom flies animals from overpopulated shelters to no-kill shelters, giving them a chance at being adopted into a forever home. Last year, together we helped fly 7,177 pets to freedom through this program: 5,419 dogs, 756 cats, and 2 pot-bellied pigs!

Give a Gift

We’ve created two opportunities for you to directly and positively affect the lives of vulnerable shelter animals! You can feed orphaned infant kittens and puppies by providing specialized formula and bottle kits to shelters. The Flights to Freedom Comfort Packs helps ease the stress of pets on their journey to their forever home.


Show You Care

Proclaim it loud and clear! You can help spread the word about the importance of animal adoption with one of our exclusive Adopt Don’t Shop items or explore one of our other product collections perfect for Fur Moms and Fur Dads. Find your favorite! Feel good and do good. Last year, shopping in The Animal Rescue Site store raised funding for the value of more than 61.2 million bowls of food for shelter animals.

Join us for Humane Lobby Day at the Harrisburg State Capitol–It Makes a Difference!

Pennsylvania Humane Lobby Day
April 29, 2019

The biggest day of the year for animals—and animal advocates—is almost here!

Please join us for this exciting opportunity to discuss ways you can make a difference in the lives of animals. You’ll also have the chance to meet with your legislators about Pennsylvania’s Pet Retail Sale bill dubbed Victoria’s Law, ending live pigeon shoots, and the ivory trade in our state. Also, on our agenda is to further protect dogs by establishing standards for outdoor shelter as well as to allow research animals to be adopted upon completion of their participatory studies.

No prior experience is required to get involved. We will provide the support you need to make the largest impact!

We will be joined by humane legislators as well as a few canine special guests.
