Go Orange -Prevent Animal Cruelty!

April 8, 2012 - PRLog -- Oxford, MS – April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month and each year the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) urges animal lovers across the country to ‘Go Orange for Animals’ in honor of the ASPCA's charter signing in 1866 and support local and national efforts to prevent animal cruelty. The DogSmith, a national dog training and pet care franchise joins with the ASPCA in encouraging pet owners nationwide to support local efforts to prevent animal cruelty.
ASPCA is celebrating 146 years of fighting animal cruelty and throughout the month, they ask members and all animal lovers to show their support by donning the ASPCA’s signature color and ‘going orange’ for animals in recognition of their victories in the fight against animal cruelty.

Also to honor ‘Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month,’ the ASPCA is taking submissions for the “I Saved My Pet!” photo contest.  They are inviting anyone with a compelling pet rescue story to submit it along with a snapshot of their furry friend. You can submit your photo to I saved my pet Photo Contest.

According to Niki Tudge, President of The DogSmith, “Our locally owned and operated DogSmith Franchises are committed to preventing cruelty and neglect to all animals, especially companion animals and family pet members.  Each DogSmith dog trainer volunteers her expertise at animal shelters through our ‘Canine Rescue Resources Program’ and our corporate philosophy is built on helping minimize the number of abused and neglected pets by providing free resources and affordable dog training and pet care services.” According to their website, part of  The DogSmith’s mission is to ‘support and assist animal shelters and rescue organizations to minimize the number of unwanted animals’ by making shelter pets more adoptable and by helping families retain their pets through effective training.
