It is said that a pet is the best friend you will ever have. Not only do pets bring comfort during times of need, but they can also be great for one’s health. Having a pet can increase opportunities to get exercise and enjoy the outdoors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is so much to celebrate about having a pet in our lives and so much unconditional love that is unmatched. For this reason, it is important that we make sure our pets are taken care of and that other animals have the help they need to find a loving family of their own. Feb. 20 is National Love Your Pet Day. In honor of the day, GrantWatch<\/a> is sharing 10 of the top grants currently available for animal welfare organizations and shelters, as well as some fun ways to celebrate the holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have also asked some of our staff to share pictures of their own pets in honor of the day. You can see these cute animals shown below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
