Tomorrow is DOGust First! Celebrate With Your Nearest Shelter Dog
Everyone loves a good dog birthday party. Sure, the cake has bone-shaped biscuits in it, but who can complain about a pup in a cute birthday hat?
Unfortunately, a lot of shelter dogs don’t know their real birthdays, so picking a date to celebrate can be hard. That’s why, in 2008, North Shore Animal League America (NSALA) decided that August 1 would DOGust 1st, the universal birthday for shelter and rescue dogs.
