Adopt a Pet Storytime

Today is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day! This is a day created to raise awareness for the millions of animals waiting for their forever homes in shelters across the country. By adopting, you are not only saving one life. You are also helping to make space for another animal in need, giving them the opportunity to have a second chance at a happy life in a forever home. Do you have an adopted animal in your home? We’d love to see a picture!

This storytime features The Forgotten Rabbit by Nancy Furstinger. Available through May 31 with permission from The Gryphon Press.
