Did you know that July 31st is National Mutt Day?  In fact, mutts are so awesome that they have a second National Mutt Day on December 2nd.  Celebrate your love of mixed breed dogs by visiting your local shelter and adopting a mutt of your own.

Mixed breed dogs are over-represented in the animal shelter population, but they actually make great family pets.  Mutts come in all shapes and sizes, so you’re sure to find the perfect one for you.  Experts say that they tend to be generally healthier, longer-lived, and better behaved than purebreds.
