National Dog Day 2024
2024-08-26 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LufMHbcsUrM
National Dog Day returns on August 26th, unleashing a global celebration of man’s best friend. For the 20th time, a torrent of tail-wagging tributes to our canine companions will flood the day. Expect network news stories, national TV show segments, shelter events, K9 parties, online videos, and internet photos, all sending the hashtag #NationalDogDay trending.
Pet Lifestyle Expert and Animal Advocate, Colleen Paige, founded National Dog Day in 2004, as a way to thank dogs for their unconditional love as well as their dedication to service that keeps our families, communities and cities safe. Originally launched and celebrated in the United States, National Dog Day is now celebrated worldwide.
Amidst the deluge of doggone adorable photos, videos, and heartwarming news features flooding feeds across the planet, the day barks out a call to potential pet parents, urging them to step forward toward adopting a furry soul from a nearby shelter or rescue group. Many local and national shelter and rescue organizations host special events and reduce adoption fees in honor of the day.
People who are unable to adopt are encouraged to make a donation to a local or national shelter or rescue organization on August 26th. This act honors and supports the many confined dogs yearning for companionship. These precious animals, with hearts beating in hope and endearing eyes longing to weave a spell of affection that inspires the embrace of a new and loving pet parent, eagerly await liberation from abandonment. Your donation provides comfort and care as they await their future forever homes.
If you don’t already have a favorite rescue organization to donate to, a list with links to National Dog Day rescue partners is available at www.nationaldogday.com/rescuepartners.
Your dog can be a standout star of the day when you enter your dog’s photo in the NATIONAL DOG DAY “CUTEST DOG OF THE YEAR” contest exclusively on Facebook. The top 10 cutest dog photos will be posted on the National Dog Day home page and the top pick will receive a Dog Day Goodie Box valued at over $350. To enter your precious pup’s photo, just complete two steps: Post photos as a comment on the National Dog Day Facebook post here: National Dog Day Entry Post and post on your own Facebook profile with the #nationaldogday hashtag.
National Dog Day 2024 Presenting Sponsor, DogTV, is making sure there is never a dull moment for the entire 24 hours of the special day by hosting a 24-hour livestream for dogs, (and their humans) available at: www.dogtv.com/nationaldogday. Founded by Ron Levi, DogTV has provided streaming content to ease the anxiety of pets at home for two decades. The original concept of TV for dogs has expanded to offer content for dog people too, including educational videos focusing on health, nutrition, and training.
