How This Started
National Puppy Day was founded in 2006 by animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige to celebrate the magic of puppies and, more importantly, to save lives. Observed every March 23, the holiday shines a spotlight on the importance of puppy adoption while raising global awareness about the inhumane conditions of puppy mills. It serves as a yearly reminder for animal lovers to “adopt, not shop” and to support local shelters in finding forever homes for orphaned pups.

The methods you could do to show your furry friend some extra love is by buying them some toys, giving them treats, or going on mini adventures together.
