October honors animal safety, wellness, and adoption—with spotlights on vet techs, black pets, and pit bull advocacy. Move with courage; choose what frees.

September honors service dogs, responsible ownership, and remembrance. Key actions: adopt a less-adoptable pet, refresh ID/insurance, and stand up for ethical ownership.

August is an action month for companion animals—from DOGust (the universal birthday for shelter dogs) to Check the Chip Day, National Dog Day, and Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day.
