National Dog Day - August 26, 2025
Scott Kakacek

National Dog Day is celebrated annually on August 26. In 2025, it will fall on a Tuesday. This day honors the bond between humans and dogs, while also raising awareness about the many dogs in need of homes.

 

Founded in 2004 by Colleen Paige, National Dog Day aims to promote dog adoption and highlight the importance of treating all dogs with kindness. The date was chosen to commemorate the day Paige's family adopted their first dog.

 

Here are some ideas for celebrating National Dog Day:

 

Adoption and Volunteering

Adopt a Dog: Consider bringing a rescue dog into your home.

Volunteer: Help at local shelters or rescue organizations.

 

Awareness and Support

Donate: Contribute supplies or funds to animal charities.

Raise Awareness: Share posts about adoptable dogs and responsible pet ownership.

 

Fun Activities

Spoil Your Dog: Treat your dog to a special day with treats and playtime.

Host a Gathering: Invite friends and their dogs for a fun get-together.

National Dog Day is a reminder of the joy dogs bring to our lives and the importance of giving back to those in need.
