National Adopt-A-Shelter-Pet Day Twitter Is The Best Twitter
When I posted a tweet for National Adopt A Shelter Pet Day I should have had an umbrella ready, ’cause my mentions were raining cats and dogs. (And one snake. And I believe a couple gerbils.)
One of the recurring sentiments on the responses were how lucky people felt to have the pets they adopted, and how much happier they make life.
::Cue Sarah McLaughlin tunes::
According to estimates from the ASPCA:
- -Approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide every year
- -Each year, approximately 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized
- -Approximately 3.2 million shelter animals are adopted each year
Clearly it’s a big problem, so this is how it felt scrolling through the responses this afternoon knowing that all of these animals below got a second shot at a happy life:
There were too many responses to share them all, and they were all great, but here’s just a few..

The list could go on & on and maybe I’ll update it later if people are enjoying this. Even if you can’t take on the responsibility right now, there’s lots of ways you can help animals, like the awesome ones above (yes, even the one who somehow took that giant shit on the wall).
