Today is National Mutt Day in America!

A day to celebrate the beauty and uniqueness of mixed breeds, and to encourage more adoptions. Below are 5 great reasons why these dogs absolutely rule.

1. They are unique in personality and appearance.

Each dog carries a unique look due to the inheritance of diversified traits from its parents. And not to forget their cute, charming personalities!

2. Shelters and rescue organizations have a multitude of mixed breeds available.

There is never a shortage of adorable mixed breeds waiting for their forever home. Pay the shelter a visit, and you�ll surely not go home empty-handed!

3. Mutts are more affordable than purebreds.

Adopting a mixed breed dog is much less expensive than purchasing from a breeder. Adoption fees generally range from RM50 to RM300. A purebred from a reputable breeder can cost well over RM2,000.

4. You won�t be supporting puppy mills.

While there are many responsible breeders, there are also many puppy mills who come well disguised. Remember that cute toy poodle that made your heart skip a beat in the pet store? If he wasn�t from a shelter or rescue, he most likely came from a puppy mill. Yes, he needs a home. But, purchase him and you are contributing to the perpetuation of dogs suffering in wire cages and never seeing the day of light.

5. You�ll be saving a life.

Think how good you feel as a pet parent when you not only bring home the most adorable dog on your street, but he has the most unique personality, you�ve helped take a stance against puppy mills, you�ve saved a few bucks, and you�ve saved a life. Your new forever furry friend has found his forever home and won�t have to spend one more night wondering if he�ll ever have a human who will take him in and love him forever.
