Best pet-friendly places to stay to celebrate your pooch on National Mutt Day 2022

Best Pet - Friendly places to celebrate Mutt Day 2022

What and When is National Mutt Day?

National Mutt Day, also known as National Mixed Breed Dog Day, is celebrated on both July 31 and December 2, because why have just one party in honor of dogs when you can have two? The day was created to raise awareness of mixed breed dogs in shelters that are constantly overlooked in favor of purebred dogs, despite mixed breeds making up almost 80% of the dogs in shelters.

While mixed breeds may not conform to neither Western society’s nor the media’s standards of beauty, they tend to be healthier, better behaved, and just as intelligent as, if not more than, pure breeds. And we, for one, think they’re very cute—just have a look at two of our office dogs below!
