Idaho Loves Shelter Animals Day

Idaho just took a giant leap for animal welfare! Governor Brad Little has officially proclaimed today, February 5th, as Idaho Loves Shelter Animals Day! This is fantastic news for our furry friends and a testament to the growing compassion within our state.

The proclamation highlights a truly inspiring goal: achieving a 90% save rate in Idaho's animal shelters by 2025. Governor Little's message is clear and powerful: "Idaho's animal shelters will achieve a 90% save rate if 6% more Idahoans seeking a pet choose to adopt from a shelter rather than to purchase." Think about that for a moment. Just a small shift in our choices can make a monumental difference in the lives of countless animals.

This isn't just a proclamation; it's a call to action. Governor Little emphasizes the importance of collaboration, urging animal shelters to work closely with local shelter and rescue partners. He also highlights the need for lifesaving programs, ensuring that shelters have the resources and strategies to give every animal a chance. So, how can we, as Idahoans, contribute to this worthy cause? The answer is simple: Adopt, don't shop! Consider opening your heart and home to a deserving animal waiting patiently in a shelter. These animals are full of love and just yearning for a second chance. By choosing adoption, you're not only gaining a wonderful companion, but you're also directly contributing to reaching that crucial 90% save rate.

Beyond adoption, there are many other ways to get involved. Volunteer at your local shelter, donate much-needed supplies, or spread the word about the importance of shelter adoptions. Every little bit helps.

Let's make 2025 the year we achieve this ambitious goal. Let's show the nation what Idahoans are made of – compassion, dedication, and a whole lot of love for our animal companions. Let's do this, Idaho! Let's make every day an "Idaho Loves Shelter Animals Day!"
