April 10th

 

This Saturday (April 11) is National Pet Day. Kris Kiser, President of the TurfMutt Foundation, is sheltering at home with his rescue pup and the Foundation spokesdog, Mutt Mulligan.

Check out this National Pet Day message from Kris and Mully.

How are you celebrating with your fur-friend on National Pet Day? We have an idea – spend some time with your pet outside in your own backyard! Getting outdoors, even right in your own yard, has proven to be a major stress-relieving activity for families during this unprecedented time.

“Science has shown both nature and pets have an anxiety-reducing effect on people and kids. The combination of spending some time in our yards and playing with our four-legged friends could be the daily ritual stressed-out families need right now,” says Kris. “And no one understand the joys of being outside more than a dog.”
