Be a Hero for Dogs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) September 13, 2009 -- Sterling, MA – You can save the day for a homeless dog — and find a faithful companion who will be at your side for all of life’s adventures — by adopting a dog from the Animal Shelter Inc. of Sterling during Adopt-A-Dog Month® in October. It’s the perfect time to visit the Sterling Shelter, meet potential sidekicks and discover how much fun and happiness a dog can add to your life.

Companionship, improved physical and emotional health, social interaction and devoted love are just a few of the super-size benefits of having a dog. Dogs also encourage people to exercise, enhance family and social relationships, promote laughter and act as a nonjudgmental audience and sounding board. “Adopting a dog from your local shelter is a simple, yet heroic deed,” said Leigh Grady – Executive Director, Animal Shelter Inc. “By providing a home to an animal that didn’t have one, you can help reduce the regrettably high number of homeless pets in this country. And you’ll be rewarded in so many ways, as you experience the joy of building an invincible bond with a loving and faithful companion.”

Millions of people across the country are already enjoying the many rewards of dog companionship. According to the 2009-2010 National Pet Owners Survey by the American Pet Products Association, more than 45 million households in the United States have at least one dog.

The Sterling Shelter is active not just during Adopt-A-Dog Month, but throughout the year, promoting the creation of strong, mutually rewarding relationships between people and potential canine companions. The Sterling Shelter encourages people to visit their website www.sterlingshelter.org to see all the wonderful pets waiting for homes.
