Stray animals day is celebrated every year on 4th of April, to cherish and honour the bond between human beings and stray animals and to showcase compassion towards the ones lost,injured,troubled or abandoned. The day was launched in 2010 when over 100 Dutch organizations convened at the Dutch National Stray Animals Conference. When it comes to animal welfare and their upliftment , the smallest of initiatives and steps have the potential to become big and have a greater impact than we think. To honour this pure connection and foster the core values of human- animal bond, here are 3 steps which each of us should implement: 1. PET: Affection and attention is what these creatures crave for the most. Understand their body language first, maintain your own safety and go ahead and shower them with love. 2. PROTECT: Storms, rain,extreme wind and harsh winters and summers can be a hard time for the strays as they have no roof over their head. Giving them a temporary abode when we witness their discomfort, can be beneficial for them and specially their young ones who might not survive otherwise. 3. PROVIDE: Finding some time to feed and take care of their nourishment, while also knowing what's safe for them and what's not can go a long way to cure the problem of starvation deaths. Providing does not only include food and water, but also first aid and medications on time, to avoid further spread and fatalities. Team Reviving Hummal extends their heartfelt wishes to everyone on this stray animal day. Let's take the initiative to follow the three Ps of nurturing the human animal bond, whenever and wherever we can. . . . . #strayanimals #strayanimalday #fyp #RH #teamrh #volunteers #cats #dogs #cows #feeding #protection #nurture #revivinghummal

🐾 Paws Up for World Animal Day! 🐾 Today, we join people worldwide in celebrating animals and advocating for their rights and welfare. Since 1925, World Animal Day has raised awareness of the importance of treating all animals—wild, farmed, and domestic—with the care and respect they deserve. 🌍 At Bold by Nature, we ensure traceability and transparency by carefully managing and tracking every ingredient. In the USA, our beef comes from certified humane farms, including those under the Global Animal Partnership (G.A.P.) standards. Additionally, we ethically source our meats in Canada, ensuring animals are treated humanely. 🐮🌿 This day is more than a celebration—it's a call to action. Through awareness and education, we can work together to end animal suffering worldwide. Whether we support animal protection charities, raise awareness, or advocate for better welfare practices, every effort matters. Let’s reflect today on how we can contribute to a world where all animals live the lives they deserve. 💚🐾 #WorldAnimalDay #AnimalWelfare #BoldbyNature #EthicalSourcing #GlobalAnimalPartnership #AnimalRights

🌍 International Dog Day - A Special Tribute to our Loyal Companions 🐾   On this International Dog Day, we at PetCo want to honor not only our beloved dogs but all animals that share our world. 🐕🌎   While today we celebrate dogs in particular, animal welfare is a commitment we extend to all living creatures.

Best practices and How to. Everyone can learn more about supporting people and pets.

This fall was all about new beginnings and wagging tails. Here’s why In honor of National Animal Shelter Awareness Week this past November, Shameless Pets decided that one week wasn’t enough to celebrate the incredible role animal shelters play in our communities. Showing true dedication, they extended the celebration throughout the month, offering a special treat to everyone who adopted a cat or dog from a shelter during November. Through this initiative, Shameless Pets ensured that each shelter pet’s first taste of “home” is not only delicious but also sustainably crafted from upcycled ingredients that are good for both pets and the planet. This is a nearly perfect example of a brand aligning its purpose with impact—combining compassion, sustainability, and the joy of adoption. This kind of initiative reminds me why I’m passionate about supporting the animal welfare community. Because it’s so much more than just that I love dogs. For me, loving animals is the most simple manifestation of honoring moments that matter, building connections, and celebrating every small step towards a kinder world. Here’s to Shameless Pets, shelter animals, and the people who show up for them every day. If you’re a brand or organization committed to positive change, it’s time to be loud and proud about it! And if you need help showcasing your vision and commitment, I’d love to help bring your story to life through my lens - I’m just a call away. 🐾 Click and FOLLOW my LinkedIn hashtag #dogsimeet for more Dog Tales and brand marketing tips and advice. #socialimpact #animalwelfare #storytelling

For #PhilanthropyFriday we’re checking out Michigan Animal Rescue League 🐾 The Michigan Animal Rescue League (MARL) is one of southeast Michigan’s most established animal shelters, serving the community since 1953. Their history and experience combined with constant evaluation of trends in animal welfare and sheltering have made them a necessary and respected asset within the community. As, “A Different Breed of Shelter” they challenge the stereotypes of traditional animal shelters and believe that the, “Quality of the Wait,” can make all the difference in the future of an animal!❤️ The Mission of the Michigan Animal Rescue League is to provide the highest quality of life to dogs and cats through rescue, medical care, socialization and behavioral support, short- and long-term sanctuary, adoption, and community education and outreach. Adjusting to the shelter environment can be hard for dogs and cats. While MARL’s staff and volunteers make every effort to make their temporary home welcoming, the shelter is still often a place where dogs and cats find themselves confined in an unfamiliar environment, separated from their previous families, and exposed to much more noise than they’re used to. This is where MARL’a enrichment program comes in! Enrichment is a term that describes how shelter environments can be adjusted and enhanced to better benefit each animal. The goal of enrichment is to minimize stress levels by adding different kinds of stimulation and activities to each animal’s daily routine.
