This day has gone to the dogs. And the cats. And the rabbits, hamsters, birds, fish.. you get the idea. Today is National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day, celebrating the furry friends we've rescued (or who've rescued us) and bringing awareness to all the good boys and girls who are patiently waiting for their forever home. If you've been thinking about adopting, today is a great day to take the first step. Check out the gallery of adoptable pets from Stray Animal Adoption Program, which was voted No. 1 by readers for Best Pet Rescue/Shelter in CityBeat's Best Of Cincinnati issue. If you'd like to help out the cause but aren't able to adopt right now, you can always donate to SAAP or a number of other local pet adoption organizations.
