Bill > HRes781

This resolution supports the designation of October 1, 2025, as "National Animal Rescue Day" to raise awareness about animal adoption and welfare. The resolution highlights the significant challenges facing animal shelters in the United States, including millions of cats and dogs being placed in shelters annually and hundreds of thousands of adoptable animals being euthanized. It emphasizes the importance of increasing public knowledge about animal rescue programs, promoting spaying and neutering to reduce animal overpopulation, and supporting families' access to housing and veterinary care. The resolution aims to encourage more pet adoptions, reduce the number of animals in shelters, and help rescued animals find loving "forever homes." By designating a specific day for animal rescue awareness, the resolution seeks to promote adoption events, festivals, and charitable giving that can increase shelter revenues and support pet adoptions. The House of Representatives specifically supports creating awareness for animal rescue programs and addressing pet overpopulation through continued spaying and neutering efforts.
