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!
