Tails That Teach Inc., a southern California non-profit organization dedicated to educating today’s youth on the importance of kind and gentle treatment of pets and people, announces a celebrity-supported, social media campaign, to celebrate its second annual National Rescue Dog Day (nationalrescuedogday.com).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 20, 2019, National Rescue Dog Day will honor rescue dogs around the country that are often times overlooked, and face euthanization after entering the crowded shelter system. Through National Rescue Dog Day, Tails That Teach aims to raise awareness to the approximately 3.3 million dogs that end up in U.S. shelters every year and the critical need for spay and neuter, while encouraging the public to adopt rather than shop for their new pup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tails That Teach is asking rescue-loving celebrities and influencers to post a photo with their rescue dog, tag or mention the rescue organization in which it was adopted, and use #nationalrescuedogday. Also, consider a call to action by verbally sharing an inspiring story, plea to adopt\/break down shelter stigmas, encouragement for responsible pet ownership, the importance of spay\/neuter, all to spread awareness to help save lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There is something very special about rescue dogs,” said Lisa Wiehebrink, Founder of Tails That Teach. “They teach us forgiveness, gratitude, and unconditional love. They remind us of the beauty of second chances and to never look back, only forward. They truly are man’s best friend.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
