What is National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week?
National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, held in the first full week of November, was established by the Humane Society of the United States in 1996. It honours the staff and volunteers who care for lost, abandoned and surrendered animals and work to find them new homes. People mark the week by adopting or fostering a pet, donating food and blankets, or volunteering a few hours at a local shelter.
How to celebrate
