Hold a bake sale
Find recipes for pet-safe dog treats and whip up a few batches to sell for a cause. Offer them to fellow dog lovers in your community and donate your proceeds to your local shelter. Better yet, prepare extra batches to give to shelter pups in need of some cheering up as they wait for someone to welcome them into their forever homes.
Go on an adventure
Enjoy what’s left of the summer and take your dog out for an outdoor adventure. You can camp at a nearby lakeside property, go on a hike up the mountains, or book a cabin in a secluded forest. Just make sure you keep an eye out for common autumn hazards since the fall season is just around the corner.
Host a yappy hour - see what we did there😉
What better way to celebrate your love for dogs than an intimate celebration with your friends and their pets? Prepare dog-safe treats and toys for the pups and let them loose to keep each other entertained. You can also get them all dressed up and then have them pose for a group photo that you and your friends will forever cherish.

Promote a shelter dog
Not everyone has the resources to adopt or foster, but there are many other things you can do to improve the predicament of rescue dogs. For example, you can work with one shelter dog at a time and do what you can to improve their chances of getting adopted.
Dress them up in a cute t-shirt or aww-inducing dress to make them irresistibly cute! Then, take a few snaps and share their stories on your social media to gain traction

All dogs deserve the chance to experience the warmth and attention of a doting companion. Use this day to express your love for your own pup. It is also a good time to help other people experience the unconditional love and fulfillment you can’t get from anyone else but an affectionate and loyal pet. Doing so will hopefully take more dogs away from shelters and into caring homes.
Have A Happy National Dog Day!
