Support National Animal Rescue Day!

Target: Your U.S. Representative
Sponsored by: Care2.com

In October 2007, Rep. Robert E. Andrews (D-NJ) introduced a bill in Congress to designate the first Saturday of every October as National Animal Rescue Day in order to

"create awareness for animal rescue programs throughout the year, address the challenge of overpopulation through continued spaying and neutering of adopted pets, and bring Americans together as a Nation to support this common goal."

Had Congress acted on this bill, October 4, 2008 could have been the first National Animal Rescue Day. Help us make sure October 3, 2009 is National Animal Rescue Day - ask your representative to support this legislation to promote animal rescue and pet adoption today!

Dear Representative,

I am an animal lover and I support Representative Robert Andrew's efforts to designate the first Saturday of every October as National Animal Rescue Day (H.Res.749). As many as four million dogs and cats are euthanized in animal shelters every year. This loss of animal life is tragic, and a National Animal Rescue Day would help to promote both the need for pet adoption as well as educate and raise funds for spay and neuter programs to reduce animal overpopulation.

Please help save homeless pets by supporting a National Animal Rescue Day.

Sincerely,
[Your name here]

We took action on “Support National Animal Rescue Day!”!

I support Animal National Rescue Day since I think no one has the right to take any living beings life. Respect for all living creatures, for the environment that is their habitat for their right to live

Everyone of my pets was rescued and have immensly added to the quality of my life. By supporting Rep. Andrew's initiative (House Resolution 749) to designate one day a year as National Animal Rescue Day, many wonderful orphaned pets will get a second chance at the life they have always deserved and the quality of life for their newly adopted families will be greatly enhanced. It's a win-win all the way around. This country loves their pets. Who would want to be on record as voting against "Man's Best Friend"??? The people who work in animal rescue are the most selfless and heroic people I have ever met. Let's give them a hand and at least do our part to highlight the work they do one day a year.

These beautiful creatures need help. Killing them is not the answer. Would you want yourself and your family treated that way? Please help Gods' creatures. Animals with a pure heart. We as a society need to hhelp.

There are so many unwanted or untaken care of animals in our society. This day is not too much to ask to increase publicity and aid them in finding a good, loving home. Please support it. Thank you for your efforts on their behalf!
