Each year approximately 3-4 million pets are adopted from shelter and rescue groups, but 2.4 million healthy and treatable pets still need our help to find a home each year.
Actress Bellamy Young, who plays First Lady Mellie Grant on NBC’s “Scandal,” in partnership with the Shelter Pet Project, stars in a new online video featuring her adopted dog Bean and adopted cat Sadie that we are so excited to share with you! The video helps break down misconceptions surrounding shelter pets and spreads the word that pets in shelters are wonderful and loveable.
Our adopted puppy Winston has brought incredible joy and love to our family. Millions of people are looking to acquire a pet within the next year. Remember to adopt – not shop – for your new family member at TheShelterPetProject.org!
