There’s still a lot of good in this world—especially the kind that comes with wagging tails and sloppy kisses. Dogs bring out the best in us, and in return, they deserve our care and compassion. One of the most powerful ways to show that love? Adopt a dog in need.

Each year, approximately 3.3 million dogs find themselves in shelters across the U.S. Tragically, around 670,000 of them are euthanized. These numbers are sobering—but there’s hope. According to the ASPCA, euthanasia rates are steadily dropping, thanks in large part to a growing number of people choosing adoption. That simple, heartfelt decision can change—and save—a life.
