When most of us think of October, we think of witches, goblins, ghosts, and the first signs of fall. However, October also happens to be Adopt-A-Dog month! The Adopt-A-Dog Month is focused on bringing attention to the pet ove rpopulation that affects every state. Whether you are looking to adopt a dog or not, there are many other ways you can help.
Volunteer at a shelter. Many shelters in Virginiaare understaffed and are in dire need of help.
Donate supplies.
Increase awareness, encouraging others to adopt their dogs through a shelter or rescue organization.
There are thousands of animals in Virginia waiting for a home. Some people don't consider adopting from shelters when searching for a new dog or pet and there are many advantages including consultative dog experts to help you make a good fit when selecting your new dog, access to resources for training, care (such as vets and pet sitters) and activities as well as the satisfaction of providing a great home to a dog in need. The local shelters in Virginia are the perfect place to find dogs of every type, size, age and personality - all waiting for a loving home. If you prefer a particular breed that isn't currently available at a shelter, go online to find a breed-specific rescue group in need of adopters like you.
If you can't adopt a dog at this time, consider fostering one! Fostering allows a dog to experience the comforts of home while waiting for a forever family. Shelters can be very scary places for dogs, so opening your home to them, can give them a much-needed safe and comfortable environment. Also, if you're interested in adopting a dog but are not sure if you or your family is ready, you can try fostering to see what it's like.
