August 16, 2003: International Homeless Animals’ Day

Caged Jpg

International Homeless Animals’ Day events are held in more than 30 US states and many, many other countries as well, such as Romania, Turkey, Spain, Greece, Cayman Islands, Guatemala, Canada, Puerto Rico, Australia, Columbia, and many, many more.

ISAR created and has sponsored national Homeless Animals’ Day more than 11 years ago; a day which is always observed as the third Saturday in August, this year being August 16, 2003. National Homeless Animals’ Day is an internationally recognized day which is marked by dedicated animal rights/welfare/rescue groups and dedicated individuals holding Candlelight Vigils and other events to bring public attention to the magnitude of the pet overpopulation tragedy and how it affects your local community. We aim to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets and to adopt their next pet(s) from shelters/homeless animals rather than buying from pet shops or breeders.

You can read more about National Homeless Animals’ Day on our website, www.isaronline.org <http://www.isaronline.org/> and following the links to Campaigns, then National Homeless Animals’ Day. ISAR will mail all interested organizations a free Candlelight Vigil planning kit that will help you organize and hold a successful event. NHAD will not only draw attention to our underlying cause of ending pet overpopulation, but will also bring more attention to you individual organization and what your efforts and campaigns are and, hopefully bring more community/volunteer involvement to your own group.

Currently we are recruiting as many communities throughout the United States as well as abroad involved in National Homeless Animals’ Day to make sure the message is being heard world-wide. Please set aside this one day out of the year, where we all come together to publicly unite in our mission to Win the War on Pet Overpopulation!

We thank every single organization that participated and helped make National Homeless Animals’ Day 2002 a tremendous success. Last year we had It is with greatest sincerity that we thank you for your hard work and dedication, not only with National Homeless Animals’ Day, but with tireless work you do day in and day out every day of the year.
