National Mutt Day

Today is National Mutt Day, also known as National Mixed Breed day. Created in 2005, it is celebrated on July 31 and December 2 as a way to embrace and honor all the mixed breed dogs out there.  The hope is to bring awareness to all the mutts that end up in shelters due to overbreeding, and the desire for designer breeds that result in dogs who end up homeless. My husband and I adopted one such mutt, Kita, who has brighten our lives with her spunky, entertaining and adorable personality! Who says mutt breeds aren't the best?
