This Event is OFF...we don't know what happened or why, that's all the news we received. Sorry!

DDB will be there with some of our dogs for adoption, and to help make the day a huge success! Here's some info about the event, or visit the site at http://www.nationaldogday.com for more info.

Make sure to come out that day to the event, and support ALL the groups selected this year!

• National Dog Day is an annual event with one main national event only. Businesses, shelters and rescue organizations nationwide hosted over 300 "affiliate events" nationwide to celebrate dogs and help save homeless dogs in their community. All National Dog Day events must be registered and sanctioned by AMF. To host your own event, please visit www.amfAmerica.org

• National Dog Day will host its 2008 main event in Solomons, Maryland at The Calvert Marine Museum.

• Our goal in 2006 was to be the platform for the adoption of 10,000 dogs nationwide on August 26th, 2006. We exceeded our goal and watched, as America adopted over 12,000 dogs on August 26th, 2006 and nearly 15,000 dogs in 2007!

• Every year, we will anticipate raising the goal for the number of dogs adopted across the country on National Dog Day and through it's associated events. Our goal for 2008 is to save 20,000 dogs on the weekend of August 23rd through August 26th.

• If National Dog Day's official celebration date (August 26th) falls on a weekday, most events across the nation (including the main event) will be planned for the weekend prior to August 26th.

• National Dog Day is just one of many celebratory and lifesaving pet holidays created by Colleen Paige and AMF.
