October is Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Month

Westford Animal Hospital is celebrating Adopt-a-Shelter-Dog Month with the offering 10% off your initial exam when you bring your newly adopted shelter/rescue pet in!

Looking for a new best friend? Nothing says "welcome home" like a wagging tail and a pair of warm brown eyes. Whether you want an exercise buddy, a lap dog, a partner in agility competitions, a constant companion for an aging parent, or simply a fuzzy face to greet you after a hard day at work, an adopted dog can be all of these-and more. Adopt_a-Shelter-Dog Month is the perfect time for people to adopt a shelter dog and experience the joy of finding their own answers. Each year millions of people find a devoted housemate at their local shelter. The ASPCA encourages Americans to "Make Adoption Your First Option”. This October, "Make your house a home…adopt a shelter dog!"

Your local shelter is the perfect place to find dogs of every type, size, age and personality -- all waiting for a loving home. Or, if you prefer a particular breed that isn't currently available at a shelter, go online to find a breed-specific rescue group in need of adopters like you.
