Animal Shelters, Rescue Groups, and Happy
Adopters Worldwide Honor Importance of Adoption &
Impact Rescue Dogs Have on Our Lives
PORT WASHINGTON, N.Y.,
July 31,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Thursday,
August 1st is DOGust 1ST
® the official birthday for all rescue dogs – and
North Shore Animal League America, along with presenting sponsor
Scooter's Coffee®, is encouraging animal lovers across
the country and around the globe to join in celebrating the meaning
and joy our adopted animals bring to our lives.
DOGust 1st - THE OFFICIAL BIRTHDAY FOR ALL
RESCUE DOGS
The actual birthdates for most rescued dogs are unknown, so
Animal League America created DOGust 1st to celebrate
rescues (those already adopted and those awaiting loving homes.)
Since 2008, these "Mutt-i-grees" have had this day designated in
their honor as a thank you for the powerful difference they make in
our lives.
This year, Scooter's Coffee is the presenting sponsor
of DOGust 1st. North Shore Animal League America
and Scooter's Coffee will be helping shelter partners across the
country with adoption events, promotions, and opportunities to win
funding grants to help continue their life-saving work.
Scooter's Coffee has also created a Birthday PAWty menu of
drinks in honor of DOGust 1st, and 10% of proceeds from
the sales of these three specialty beverages during the month of
August will be donated to North Shore Animal League America.
The Birthday PAWty Latte features world-class espresso
paired with vanilla and white mocha flavors to provide that classic
birthday cake flavor. The Birthday PAWty Smoothie features
the same birthday cake flavor blended with our delicious smoothie
base and ice for a blended birthday treat! Finally, the Birthday
PAWty Infusion powered by SCOOOT! Energy™ brings tropical and
vanilla flavors together for a sweet and creamy take on our energy
infusions. These drinks come topped with either whipped cream or
vanilla cold foam and finished with festive rainbow sprinkles to
really get the PAWty started!
In addition, customers will have the opportunity to make
donations to Animal League America directly through more than 800
Scooter's Coffee locations nationwide. Select locations will host
birthday PAWty celebrations on DOGust 1sdt, inviting customers to
Scoot On Around™ with their furry friends for a pup cup and a
celebration.
Additionally, thousands of shelters, rescue groups, influencers,
organizations, and animal lovers nationwide and globally
observe DOGust 1st. By encouraging adoption
specials, birthday themed activities, and local media
opportunities, the hope is even more rescue dogs will find loving,
responsible homes.
