PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y, July 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Saturday, August 1st is DOGust 1ST ® – the official birthday for all rescue dogs – and North Shore Animal League America is joining animal lovers nationwide and around the globe in celebrating all the joy and love adopted animals add to our lives.
The actual birthdates of most rescued dogs are unknown so, in 2008 Animal League America created the DOGust 1st holiday to celebrate all rescues (those already adopted and those still waiting for their forever homes.) This day was designated in honor of all these incredible animals. Now, thousands of shelters, rescue groups, influencers, organizations, and animal lovers celebrate DOGust 1st around the world.
North Shore Animal League America has shelter partners across the country and globe signing up to participate on DOGust 1st celebrations. With DOGust 1st events featuring adoption specials, birthday themed activities, and local media coverage, even more rescue dogs will find loving, responsible homes and further shine a light on the importance of rescue and adoption.
