HRES 781 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of October 1, 2025, as "National Animal Rescue Day" to create awareness of the importance of animal adoption, to educate on the importance of spaying and neutering animals, and to encourage animal adoptions throughout the United States.

HRES 781 is a symbolic resolution designating October 1, 2025, as "National Animal Rescue Day" to raise public awareness about animal adoption and spaying/neutering. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but encourages nationwide events like adoption drives and educational campaigns to support shelters and reduce pet overpopulation. The resolution directly aims to benefit animal shelters, rescue organizations, and potential adopters by promoting the importance of adopting pets and responsible pet ownership. As a non-binding gesture, it focuses on awareness rather than policy change.
