July 31st has gone to the dogs! It’s an annual event that celebrates those lovable and loyal non-purebreds – Mutts! Canines come in all shapes, colors and sizes. Whoever said that dogs have to be pure bred, was barking up the wrong tree! To all you mutts out there – stand up, be proud! You are a special breed.
If you have been considering bringing a new pooch into your home, today may be the perfect opportunity. Consider adopting one of the many homeless or neglected doggies at your local animal shelter just waiting to find a loving home.

Here's an idea...have your Mutt DNA tested to see what he/she is mixed with! I had my mutt tested...it was so much fun, and full of "ah-ha" moments! I did the Canine Heritage Breed Test. Easy, quick, painless...and best of all I didn't have to subject my sweet guy to a visit to the Vet!
There is a Facebook event called Mutts Day. Hope everyone will attend. https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=146128455465026
