October 4th is World Animal day, a day set aside to celebrate our furry, scaly, and feathered friends. This year, due to the pandemic, celebrations will look a little different. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still find ways to honor the occasion. Here are some ideas for how you can celebrate World Animal day this year.
1. Get involved with a local animal shelter or rescue group. Many of these organizations are always in need of volunteers. This is a great way to help animals in your community and make new friends at the same time.

Talk to your friends and family about the importance of animal welfare, and look for ways you can make a difference in your community.
4. Show some love to your pets! Spend extra time playing with them, give them treats, or just take them for an extra long walk around the block. They deserve it!
5. Last but not least, have fun! Even though this year’s celebrations might be different from years past, there are still plenty of ways to enjoy World Animal Day. So get creative and have fun!
