National Pet Day is celebrated every year on April 11th as a reminder to acknowlege how much our pets mean to us and to show how much we love them. You can observe National Pet Day by donating money, food, toys or blankets to an animal welfare organization, by volunteering at or adopting a pet from local shelters — or simply by spoiling your pet whatever they may be!
