Pet Adoptathon with Cesar Millan
Cesar Millan, renowned dog expert and star of the National Geographic Channel’s Dog Whisperer, is the spokesperson for the Pet Adoptathon, an event taking place on May 1 and May 2 at more than 2,000 animal shelters around the world.
The event originally began as a North Shore Animal League program as a way to find homes for animals at its shelter.
The League began inviting other shelters to do the same and 16 years later, more than 300,000 animals have found homes through the Adoptathon.
Millan says the rescue effort is mutual and by inviting a shelter pet into their homes, humans live more fulfilling, happier lives.
“Millions of many wonderful animals end up in shelters each year, and adoption provides these animals their second chance at life. The act of adopting a dog creates balance and completeness in our lives by fulfilling the need in every human of contribution, if only for a moment. Really, who is saving who?”
The Adoptahon promotes the adoption of mixed breeds, called Mutt-i-grees by the organization, which make up the majority of pets that are euthanized each year.
