We, Citizens for Pet Adoption, are a group concerned with and committed to promoting animal adoption. I arrange events and promotions and I live in Colorado but we are an organization with national ties including many members in South Carolina. We would like to use this proclamation as promotion for our message. We would like to have this proclamation be for July 8th. We'd like this language. Thanks, Malia McCarthy Language: WHEREAS, 7.6 Million animals enter shelters each year and 2.7 million shelter animals are euthanized each year WHEREAS, only 35% of dogs and 37% of cats in shelters get adopted WHEREAS, only 29% of all owned dogs and cats are adopted from shelters WHEREAS, adoption, contrary to popular misinformation, can help citizens find a inexpensive and loving companion and help animals find a much needed home WHEREAS, there is a need to increase public awareness about the need for pet adoption and to encourage all Americans to consider getting their next best friend and companion through adoption
