January 24th is Change a Pet’s Life Day!
Change a Pet’s Life Day began in 2009 to encourage shelter pet adoption and spreading awareness to the many homeless pets in the US. In 2015, 1-800-PetMeds Cares™ introduced the Change A Pet’s Life Contest to help homeless pets get the life-changing medical treatment they needed to be adoptable.
Golden Woofs is a consumer of 1-800-PetMeds, America’s Largest Pet Pharmacy. I am helping to spread the word about their Change A Pet’s Life 2017 Contest. 1-800-PetMeds Cares is celebrating by helping three adoptable pets in need of medical and surgical treatments.
2016 Winner: English bulldog Regina from the National Mill Dog Rescue
Regina was a puppy mill breeder for the entirety of her life before she was rescued by NMDR. At 4-years-old, she had produced litter after litter of puppies. Regina was handed over to the NMDR for some much-needed love and medical care (dental work, hernia repairs, mammary tumor removal and spay surgery).
The Change A Pet’s Life Contest grant from 1-800-PetMeds Cares™ paid for a second surgical hernia repair and the additional care Regina required. Regina is very lucky. She has fully recovered and has been adopted.
