Shelter Saturday: May 21

The Italian historian Francesco Guicciardini once wrote that “Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends, never lose the chance to make them.” If you are looking to make a new four-legged friend, take the opportunity to pay a visit to your local animal shelter.

Every year an estimated 3.9 million dogs enter into the U.S. shelter system. Following are a few of the adoptable dogs we have showcased this past week on Twitter. You can help in their search for their special human by sharing their photos on social media.
