International Homeless Animals Day

Posted on August 20, 2010 by Fisher

August 21, 2010 marks ISAR’s Nineteenth Annual Commemoration of International Homeless Animals’ Day and Candlelight Vigil Observances.

Pet overpopulation is a global tragedy.

Since 1992, the third Saturday in August has been reserved for
ISAR’s innovative educational vehicle known today as International Homeless Animals Day. This Day was named to publicize:

  1. the overwhelming scope of dog and cat overpopulation
  2. to increase public awareness of the millions of dogs and cats killed in shelters annually for lack of good homes
  3. to educate the public about the crucial need for spaying and neutering to help end this tragic loss of life

We can all help shed light on the pet overpopulation tragedy that spans the globe. This Saturday, more than 30 U.S. states and 10 foreign countries will participate in International Homeless Animals’ Day 2010.

Check the up to date listings to find out what is going on in an area near you.
If there are no activities in your area, ISAR invites you to light a virtual candle in their 9th Annual Online Vigil.

We truly are all in this together. Please pass this on to help grow awareness.

    That was a great video, and thanks for reminding us about Internations Homeless animal day. It is so important to find homes for all the poor animals that need them.
