On April 10, 1866, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was founded. In celebration of this anniversary, April 10 is Go Orange for Animals Day!
Go Orange for Animals Day is a tribute to the work of the ASPCAASPCA and to celebrate love and compassion for all living things everywhere. (Orange is the official ASPCA color.)
The ASPCA is the first and oldest humane organization in the Western Hemisphere!
What can you do to help celebrate and spread the word?
- Wear something orange
- Put something orange (and safe!) on your pet
- Sign the ASPCA pledge to help fight animal cruelty, and ask your friends and family to do the same
- Visit this page to find information to share with your kids about being kind to animals
- If you were already planning to adopt a new pet, find a shelter or rescue group in your area
Please Help if You Can!

That is such a great idea. I really wish I had the time and money…oh and the space to adopt a dog right now…especially one from a shelter. I had a dog all of my life until I moved out of my parent’s house and now I just feel empty without one. I can’t wait for the day to arrive when I am out of this apartment and have the space and money to own a dog again.
