How CUTE is this guy!? Today’s Five O’Clock Cuteness is Chevy, a baby Australian Shepherd mix available for adoption in East Greenwhich Rhode Island from ArkanPaws Animal Rescue. Chevy is full to the brim with typical puppy enthusiasm! He’s a happy-go-lucky little guy who is curious and playful. He’s going to make an awesome addition to a family that is willing to guide him through puppyhood and into life as an adult dog, teaching him good manners and positive behaviors. For more on Chevy, please visit his Adopt-a-Pet.com profile: http://bit.ly/1GSyjzR ** Want to save a shelter pet, but not ready to adopt?

#6 – Sponsor A Pet

Help a pet get adopted quickly by offering to “sponsor” her in some way. Maybe you donate a bag of food, giftcard to a pet store, or even pay the adoption fee. Spread the news on your social media and watch the magic happen!

#7 – Instagram

Instead of posting picture after picture of your own dogs all month long, post images of rescues in your area that need homes! Cute images of adoptable pets have proven to spike adoption numbers. If you have a camera and a couple hours of time, you can make a difference in the lives of shelter pets.
