Collaboration with HHS Recap:
April 30th marks National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day and here at the DSJ, we’ve teamed up with Heritage Humane Society (HHS) in the promotion of their adoptable shelter animals. Like the name suggests, National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day stands for the practice of adopting shelter animals and the active promotion of adopting instead of shopping for pets.
Here’s a quick recap of the animals we’ve already promoted throughout the month-long collaboration (background information in captions):
