Celebrate National Dog Month & Clear the Shelters Month: Help Pets in Need

August is a special month for animal lovers. With National Dog Month and Clear the Shelters Month both bringing attention to pets in need, it’s the perfect time for animal shelters, rescue organizations, veterinary offices, pet stores, and community businesses to encourage support for local animals.

A Month Dedicated to Helping Pets

National Dog Month celebrates the companionship, loyalty, and happiness dogs bring to our lives while also drawing attention to dogs waiting for loving homes. Clear the Shelters Month carries that mission even further by encouraging pet adoption and supporting shelters and rescue organizations working to care for homeless animals.

But adoption isn’t the only way people can make a difference. Donations help shelters provide food, medical care, supplies, and other necessities while animals wait for their forever homes.

Make Giving Easy with an Acrylic Donation Box

A clear acrylic donation box with a sign holder provides a simple, visible way to encourage contributions throughout the month. Place one on a reception counter, checkout area, adoption table, veterinary desk, or at a community fundraising event.

The clear design allows donations to remain visible, while the 5" x 7" sign holder can display a customized message such as:

HELP US HELP PETS!
Your donation helps provide food, shelter, and care for pets in need.

Organizations can easily change the insert to promote a particular shelter, adoption event, fundraising goal, or pet-related cause.

Businesses Can Get Involved, Too

You don’t have to operate an animal shelter to participate. Local businesses can partner with rescue organizations and place an acrylic donation box at the front counter throughout August. Even small contributions can add up when an entire community gets involved.

National Dog Month and Clear the Shelters Month are great reminders that there are many ways to support animals in need—from adopting and fostering to volunteering and donating.

This August, give customers, employees, and community members an easy way to help. A simple donation box can turn everyday visits into opportunities to make a difference for pets waiting for their next home.
