All these doggies are now in heaven with God watching over us. We will never forget the hero dogs of 9/11. We thank you…

September is a good month for cooler weather and promoting animal awareness events. September awareness events encourage pet adoptions for less-popular animals.

Supporters can use creative social media to help special needs pets gain attention. The month ends with a day to remember homeless animals around the world.
