The House approved and sent the Senate a bill designating the month of October as Adopt a Shelter Dog Month.
“Last year alone, over 22,000 pets entered Massachusetts animal shelters in need of a home,” said sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers (D-Quincy). “This bill will create greater public awareness of the need for pet adoption and encourage people to give these dogs a forever home in a safe and loving environment.”
