Since 2006, all dog lovers around the world have been celebrating National Puppy Day every 23rd of March. At this time of the year, dog owners share photos of their adorable puppies and gorgeous dogs online. This also gives them the opportunity to encourage other people to consider adoption and raise awareness about puppy mills. Every year around this time, the internet is flooded with cute photos of pooches. Unfortunately this year, the coronavirus pandemic has put the entire world to a halt. And March 23rd passed by without any word from our fellow dog enthusiasts.
But of course, we won’t let it go just like that. We may not be able to pay tribute to our beloved canine companions on time. But it’s never too late to show our love for our favorite dogs, right? We’ve scoured the internet to bring your our photo collection of the cutest puppies from different social media platforms.
Owners Show Off Their Adorable Puppies To Celebrate National Puppy day

The annual National Puppy Day was founded by Colleen Paige, the pet expert who is also the founder of National Dog Day which is celebrated every August 26th. National Puppy Day is dedicated to giving recognition to the puppies that have brought so much happiness into our lives. Furthermore, it aims to inspire everyone to open their hearts to adoption. Around summertime, animal shelters typically have the highest intake of rescue dogs. This dramatic increase in the number of rescue dogs results to overcrowding which can potentially force shelters to euthanize sickly and senior dogs.
National Puppy Day is an opportunity for dog owners to show off their cute puppies on social media. Not only to showcase their pooches but to encourage people to help rescue pups by adoption or giving donations. Despite the pandemic crisis, we refuse to let the month pass without giving appreciation to our little four-legged friends. Take a look at these photos of cute pups and let’s celebrate National Puppy Day amidst this difficult time. We hope these charming pups can make you feel better.
