The actual birthdates of most rescued dogs are unknown so, in 2008 Animal League America created the DOGust 1^st holiday to celebrate all rescues (those already adopted and those still waiting for their forever homes.) This day was designated in honor of all these incredible animals. Now, thousands of shelters, rescue groups, influencers, organizations, and animal lovers celebrate DOGust 1^st around the world. 

North Shore Animal League America has shelter partners across the country and globe signing up to participate on DOGust 1^st celebrations. With DOGust 1^st events featuring adoption specials, birthday themed activities, and local media coverage, even more rescue dogs will find loving, responsible homes and further shine a light on the importance of rescue and adoption.
