Adopt-a-Dog Month

Every October is “Adopt-a-Dog Month”, sponsored by the American Humane Association. Conveniently, it’s also “Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Month”, sponsored by the ASPCA. No matter who is sponsoring the event, the message is clear: there are thousands of loving dogs waiting for adoption, so please open your home to one the next time you seek a a furry companion.

Adopt-a-Cat Month

The American Humane Association is sponsoring the month of June as “Adopt-a-Cat Month”. In my mind, every month is Adopt-a-Cat Month, which is why I’ve got so many cats. You’ll find more information about this event on the AHA’s website.

Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month

April is Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month, sponsored by the ASPCA. I think it’s horrible that we need a special month to remind people to not be cruel to animals, but thank you to the ASPCA for spreading the message.

Adopt-a-Senior-Pet Month

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is sponsoring the month of November as, “Adopt a Senior Pet” month. Senior pets are often overlooked at shelters in favour of younger, “cuter” animals, but senior pets have many advantages. Their personalities are established so you’ll really know the animal you’re adopting, many older pets are trained and used to routines, and senior pets can be more “steady” and calm than a younger dog or cat. If you’re considering adoption, why not open your home to an animal in its golden years—you won’t regret it.

About Me

My name is Leigh-Ann, I'm Canadian, and I live in the United States. This gives me great insight on cross-border issues, like American vs. Canadian candy bars, and curling vs. golf. I enjoy coffee but not caffeine, as I like to think I'm agitated enough already. I think a day without Starbucks is a day without sunshine (there are no Tim Hortons here, so I make do with what I've got). I love animals and birds and fish and even most of the creepy crawlies on the sidewalk and in the garden, but I prefer it when they stay out of the house. I'm a veterinary technology student at Penn Foster, and I'm the Director of Wee Paws Animal Sanctuary. I bottle-feed lots of kittens, and try to find homes for society's less fortunate felines. If you'd like to make a donation to Wee Paws, click the button below, or click here for more options and ways you can help.

My partner is the fantabulous Flippy. I write a blog about fibromyalgia at Tired Girls. Feel free to check out the photo gallery if you want to see 500 pictures of my dogs, cats, birds, etc. Get in touch with me via the "contact" link above - I'm actively seeking work, and specialize in Internet/social media marketing (but I don't blog about it). My background is in radio and television. One more thing: this blog was designed to be displayed at 1280 x 1024 in IE, because that's just the kind of girl I am.
