Why Is National Mutt Day Celebrated?
National Mutt Day, also known as National Mixed Breed Dog Day, was created in 2005 by Celebrity Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and Animal Welfare Advocate, Colleen Paige. This celebration takes place on both July 31st and December 2nd, with the main goal of embracing, saving, and celebrating mixed-breed dogs.
National Mutt Day aims to raise awareness about the importance of adopting mixed-breed dogs, highlighting the need to reduce the overpopulation in animal shelters. Often overlooked in favor of purebred dogs, mutts deserve as much love and care as any other dog. This day encourages adoption, promotes responsible pet ownership, and shows the world that mixed-breed dogs are loyal, intelligent, and loving companions.
So, this December 2nd, celebrate your mixed-breed dog with one of these gifts and join the movement to give them the place they deserve in our lives and hearts.
