What is National Mixed Breed Dog Day?

NationalMuttDay.com – Established in 2005 to raise awareness for dogs in shelters waiting for their forever homes, National Mutt Day is the perfect time of year to celebrate your special mixed-breed pup.
Though “mutt” may not sound like a term of endearment, any family who has ever owned one can tell you just how special and unique mixed-breed canines are. There are a lot of benefits to adopting a mixed-breed dog over a purebred one, such as:
  • Making a Difference by Saving a Life
  • More Affordable
  • May Have Better Temperaments
  • Less Likely of Inheriting Genetic Diseases
So, remember to sing your mutt’s praises and do your part in letting the world know just how amazing a mixed-breed pup can be.
