What Does #HomelessAnimalsDay Mean?

The #HomelessAnimalsDay and #InternationalHomelessAnimalsDay hashtags shine a light on the millions of animals worldwide that lack a permanent home. Every year, millions of dogs, cats, and other animals end up in shelters or living on the streets, facing hunger, illness, and danger. This day encourages adoption over shopping for pets, donating to animal shelters, volunteering time, and supporting spay and neuter programs that help reduce animal homelessness. It is a call to action for animal lovers to make a tangible difference.
