It's easy to convince people to adopt a puppy, like adopting people, people mostly want babies. However, puppies are the first to go at the shelters and rescues, and the poor adult and senior dogs are left there. And those dogs have just as much love inside. 

Animal Protective Association of Missouri (APA) had just come out with a recent, and brilliant, ad campaign. The posters and the hashtags #grownassadult and #adoptadult is educating people about the many advantages of adopting grown-up dogs! 

And there are so many advantages! If you're thinking about adopting a dog, we hope this campaign sticks with you and you consider adopting an adult.

"Get a dog who gets you. Adopt adult."

MyStetho, the Swiss-based online veterinary service founded in 2019, has recently announced the launch of its crowdfunding campaign for the dogs of homeless people in Geneva. This initiative is focused on providing these pets with access to vaccines and consultations for sick and injured dogs. The campaign will pay for pet owners in need to access online veterinary advice, medicine, medical equipment, and dog food to ensure these animals have a better quality of life. Big like from us! 

Each year in France more than 100,000 pets become homeless in summer when their owners are going on holidays. Instead of taking their pets with them, they heartlessly leave them on the streets. Some of those pets end up being euthanized while others die of starvation. The so-called 'animal-lovers' don't even bother handing over their pets to proper shelters, they basically just leave them to die. In order to raise public awareness of this horrible phenomenon, few French activists decided to launch a unique campaign. One of the most effective projects under this campaign is "Summer Adventures" by French artist, Nicolas Amiard. He chose to illustrate comic characters from famous films and TV shows in a way that makes us all feel the pain of pets abandonment.  

The German Organization, Tier im Recht (TIR), has been advocating for a strong legal protection of animals since 1996. The main purpose of TIR's actions is the continuous improvement of the human-animal relationship in a legal, ethical and social sense, by fighting for animal laws and it's consequent execution. TIR advocates for the elimination of deficiencies in the animal welfare legislation and strives in particular to ensure the consistent implementation of existing provisions. For this reason, TIR campaigns on a political and legal level for the transfer of correct knowledge and a determined enforcement of the animal welfare provisions. Check out their recent powerful campaign. 

The creators of a card game called Exploding Kittens have recently collaborated with Matthew Inman of The Oatmealto promote an important message – ending cat nudity. In order to do so , they have created a series of colorful illustrations, portraying indoor cats as "convicts" dressed in orange collars, and started a viral #KittyConvict campaign on social media. They encourage cat owners to mark their pets in bright orange collars and want more people to report lost pets when they see them outdoors. A big orange like from us.

Dogs love music. They even have their very own preferences of music. Just like we do. So why not connect people and dogs with the same taste in music? That's exactly what Spotify and an animal shelter in Germany did.   

They have teamed up to launch 'Adoptify,' featuring music for dogs. The Adoptify website makes it possible for prospective pet owners to have themselves matched to an adoptable animal based on their shared love of music. While one dog is said to love hip-hop, the other might prefers rock. After finding a dog with similar musical interests, one may watch a video about the dog, read more information about them and hopefully, provide a loving home for their new friend. Here are some of the music preferences of adorable dogs offered for adoption. Via: Trend Hunter
