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 compassionate citizens across Pennsylvania will be joining in as well, hosting activities to celebrate and help animals.
Events will include adoption fairs, spay/neuter low cost events, Black Friday adoption specials, R.E.A.D. dog programs in libraries, Angel Trees for the shelter pets, activities for the farm animals and therapy dogs visiting hospitals and living-assisted homes.
Also to be included are a salute to working K-9 dogs, feral cat initiatives, special educational programs, Holiday donation drives, and fun-filled holiday activities for families to come and enjoy food, music and the amazing animals!
Become Involved! We urge animal lovers everywhere in Pennsylvania to plan activities so they can participate! See the page "Become Involved" on this website for lots of great ideas and suggestions on what you can do.
