This Friday, April 30th marks the launch of a remarkable "Stamps to the Rescue Campaign" which aims to draw attention to the plight of shelter & rescue animals across the country. According to the campaign website, nearly half of the animals that enter shelters are euthanized.
The United States Postal Service has partnered up with Ellen DeGeneres and Halo (makers of a fine pet food sold here in Asheville at EarthFare) to launch this series of "Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet" postage stamps. In addition to being able to order the stamps online, the campaign website features an Adoption 101 center, with an awesome "Do You Have What It Takes to Adopt A Pet" meter, some basic facts on adopting a shelter or rescue pet, and an online search of adoptable pets near you via petfinder.com
I just used up my last postage stamp yesterday, so I'll be heading to the Post Office on Friday to stock up on some of these adorable stamps.
