Next week, Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog month kicks off and the FooCrew wanted to help spread the word. If you’ve been thinking lately that a new furry friend might be a good thing in your life, October is the month to take action. There are literally millions of dogs at local shelters across the country in need of love, care and commitment from responsible pet owners. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), American Humane Society and the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) are all great resources for learning more about shelter pet adoption and tips for being the best pet owner possible.

Both the ASPCA and the HSUS are FooPartners. If you aren’t in a position to adopt a real shelter dog at this time, but would like to support the cause, you can still participate on FooPets.com. We make donating easy. You can adopt a FooPet from our shelter and make a donation to the organization of your choice right from the FooBank. Symbolic and fun! But a great way nonetheless, to help real-life animals who need your support.

There are lots of ways to help shelter pets in need. Contact your local organizations and get involved. Let’s make this October the best Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog month ever!

Happy Friday,

FooCrew Lynne
