National Dog Day 2024. As we wrap up the dog days of summer, we are excited to mark one last, very different sort of dog day before the arrival of autumn: National dog day is observed to celebrate dogs and to encourage people to adopt shelter dogs of all breeds by nbc staff and cnbc tv18 • published august 26, 2024 • updated on august 26, 2024.

National dog day aims to educate the public on the importance of dog ownership and how to avoid such situations from occurring in the first place, such as researching the breed you are considering and that breed’s particular traits and characteristics. Also known as dog appreciation day, this day encourages dog owners of all breeds.
