" As many as four million dogs and cats are euthanized in animal shelters every year. This loss of animal life is tragic, and a National Animal Rescue Day would help to promote both the need for pet adoption as well as educate and raise funds for spay and neuter programs to reduce animal overpopulation.
You know how important it is to promote animal rescue and adoption, especially in this economic crisis. Rescues and shelters in and near your city are full of animals in need of loving homes. Now that our government is bailing out Wall Street, isn't there something Congress could do for our furry friends?
Ask your representative to support a National Animal Rescue Day!
Last fall, Rep. Robert E. Andrews (D-NJ) introduced a bill in Congress to designate the first Saturday in October as National Animal Rescue Day in order to "create awareness for animal rescue programs throughout the year, address the challenge of overpopulation through continued spaying and neutering of adopted pets, and bring Americans together as a Nation to support this common goal."
Had Congress acted on this bill, this past Saturday could have been the first National Animal Rescue Day. Help us make sure October 3, 2009 is National Animal Rescue Day - sign our petition to ask your representative to support this legislation to promote animal rescue and pet adoption today!
P.S. Please sign our petition here:
