December 2nd is National Mutt Day #NationalMuttDay which means my family needs to celebrate Charlie’s Dog who is part Mutt along with being a Chi-Weenie Dog. Bear is Charlie’s emotional support Dog and I don’t know what we would do without her and Pheobie and even Annie who is living with David’s Uncle. I can’t wait to go see Annie and neither can Charlie. Would you like to go with us?
If not you can throw this day to the dogs! Not just any dog, though. Today, we toast to the mixed breeds of the world, so raise your water bowls high because National Mutt Day is a #Holidays for the Mutts! There’s no ifs, ands, or Mutts about it December 2nd is National Mutt Day, and we’re here to celebrate. In fact, we love National Mutt Day so much, we celebrate it twice year. The next National Mutt Day is July 31st because Mutts deserve to be celebrated twice don’t they?
National Mutt Day Activities
- Animal shelters are always looking for volunteers, and you’d make a great volunteer and all you have to do is check in with your local rescue to see how you can get involved.
- Chances are, you’ve got plenty of Mutts in your life and while every Dog owner loves their Pet, they’d probably still appreciate a day off.
- The ultimate way to celebrate National Mutt Day is f you’ve been thinking about getting a Dog, is to open up your heart to a Mutt and you won’t regret it.
Why People Love National Mutt Day
With all the Dog breed combinations out there, there are nearly an infinite amount of possibilities. Just think about it this way: 4-digit combination locks have ten thousand combinations, and there are over 300 breeds of Dogs.
National Mutt Day’s encourages adoption and that is what this Holiday is all about! While all Dogs at shelters need adopting, Purebred Dogs tend to have much better luck, being adopted and that leaves Mutts being left out to dry.
Most Purebreds were bred for specific traits, so they’re likely to have a more extreme personality. Mutts, on the other hand, have a blend of traits from different sources, which often leads to a more mellow mood. In fact, Purebred Dogs are more likely than Mutts to have genetic disorders, including Cataracts and Hypothyroidism.
