Throughout the week, shelters, rescue groups, and humane organizations across the state will be hosting other wonderful animal-related special events. Educators, students, businesses
and caring citizens across Pennsylvania will be joining in as well, each planning their own activities to celebrate and help animals.
Events will include adoption fairs, spay/neuter awareness events, shelter beautification days, R.E.A.D. dog programs in libraries,
walks for the farm animals and therapy dogs visiting hospitals and nursing homes.
Also to be included are a salute to our canine military and police dogs, feral cat initiatives, animal law events, special programs at
the zoos, blessings for the animals, and full-filled festival days for families to come and enjoy food, music and the amazing animals!
