Adopt-A-Dog Month®
What Can An Adopted Dog Bring To Your Life?
Since 1981, American Humane has celebrated “Adopt-a-Dog Month®” each October in an effort to help the estimated 3-4 million animals waiting in shelters every year get the loving, forever homes that they deserve.
Be a hero this month and adopt a dog from your local shelter or rescue group. You’ll be saving his or her life and greatly improving your own as dogs are amazing, supportive, and heroic companions.
Resources
Whether you’re adopting your first dog or bringing home yet another to add to your family, American Humane wants to ensure you’re prepared for the energetic – and sometimes messy – life with your new best friend.

Ready to adopt? Find a shelter near you!
Your local shelter is the perfect place to find dogs of every breed, size, age and personality — all waiting for a loving home. Or if you prefer a particular breed that isn’t currently available at a shelter, go online to find a legitimate breed-specific rescue group in need of adopters like you.
Thank you for taking the time to read this #AdoptADogMonth thread! These are but a few of the many dogs who come through our rescue.
As October comes to an end, most people have Halloween on the mind. But did you know that October is also #AdoptADogMonth? At #AlmostHomeOhio the love we have for every single one of our intakes and being able to see what wonderful lives they go on to lead is what keeps us going.
