This month is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals month. One way to support our animal friends is to adopt! Did you know that about 3.2 million pets get adopted each year? Maybe you could help one of those pets get adopted! I adopted a dog this month from the Companion Pet Rescue in Southbury, CT.
Meet Joey, my 7-year-old Beagle. He loves to run, is very sweet, and he brings so much joy to our home. We love him so much!
Have a great day!
From your friends at the Connecticut Democracy Center...
Throughout the month of April, we shared on social media how students who have run for Connecticut's Kid Governor planned to help animals. Students ran on platforms focused on everything from preventing animal abuse to promoting the adoption of shelter animals. During 2017 CTKG Jessica's term, she worked with the Connecticut Humane Society to promote food collections for local shelters and pounds. The Connecticut Humane Society is a great place to not only donate food but to adopt a pet to join your family! Learn more about adopting a pet here.
