September 17th is Responsible Dog Ownership Day! This day is celebrated each year as a way to get pet parents to ‘pawse’ and remember the promises they made to their ‘furever’ friends. As a dog owner, you are responsible for the well-being of your furry friend. From grooming to daily walks, the responsibilities required to properly care for a pup are infinite. We always remind our potential adopters that rescuing a shelter dog is a lifelong commitment. In return, you will get many years of puppy love, kisses, and joy from your pets!
