🐾 HAPPY NATIONAL DOG DAY! ❤️

Today we celebrate the dogs who make us laugh, keep us company, get us outside, and somehow always know when we need them most.

Big or small.
Purebred or rescue.
High-energy or professional couch potato.
Every dog is different—and finding the right match matters.

At Hands2Paws, we believe choosing a dog should be about more than falling in love with a photo. It’s about finding a companion whose personality, energy level, needs, and temperament truly fit your lifestyle.

Because when the right dog finds the right home, everyone wins. 🐾❤️

Today, give your dog an extra walk, an extra treat, or a little more time doing what they love.

👇 Tell us about your dog! What’s their name and the one thing you love most about them?

Not every breed is for everyone. 🐾

A dog can be adorable and still be the wrong fit for your lifestyle.

Energy, size, grooming, temperament and exercise needs all matter.

Don’t choose a breed just because you love how it looks. Choose one that fits how you live.

HANDS2PAWS: WHAT YOU DON’T SEE 🐾

You may know Hands2Paws as the app helping people make better, more informed decisions when bringing a dog into their family.

But there’s a lot happening behind the scenes that you may never see.

🐾 Supporting National Mill Dog Rescue
Hands2Paws has a permanent brick honoring our support for National Mill Dog Rescue and the dogs whose lives begin in commercial breeding facilities.

🐾 Soulful Pawsitive Healing
A volunteer network of Reiki practitioners offering comfort and calming support to animals in shelters.

🐾 NACOR.org
We created a searchable national database designed to help the public identify convicted animal abusers and improve transparency around animal cruelty.

🐾 Fighting Pet Theft
We drafted legislation and presented it for support to Congressman Jim Himes of Connecticut seeking stronger federal penalties for the theft of a pet or service animal.

🐾 Pet Pursuit
We are developing an unscripted television series following the journey of people looking to bring a dog into their family — through rescue or responsible breeding — while showing viewers how to make that decision in an informed, responsible way.

🐾 Before Home
An initiative designed to provide temporary pet-resort accommodations for dogs surrendered after the death of their owner, giving them time, care and dignity while a new home is found.

Hands2Paws isn’t just about finding a dog.

It’s about what happens before the decision, after the decision, and everywhere we believe dogs deserve better.

This is the part of Hands2Paws you don’t always see. ❤️

Your pet may be microchipped, but is the information connected to that chip still correct? 🐾

A microchip can help reunite a lost pet with their family, but outdated contact information can make it much harder to reach you.

Take a few minutes today to check:

🐾 Is your phone number current?
🐾 Is your email address correct?
🐾 Have you moved since your pet was chipped?
🐾 Is the correct owner listed?
🐾 Do you have a secondary emergency contact?

Not sure where your pet’s microchip is registered? Use the AAHA Universal Pet Microchip Lookup Tool at PetMicrochipLookup.org to identify participating registries associated with the chip. Then contact the registry directly to verify or update your information.

And at your pet’s next vet visit, ask them to scan the chip to make sure it can still be detected.

❤️ A few minutes today could make all the difference if your pet ever goes missing.

Save this post and share it with another pet parent.

🐾 Meet the Xoloitzcuintli, one of the world’s most fascinating ancient dog breeds.

Often called the Xolo or Mexican Hairless Dog, this remarkable breed has a history stretching back thousands of years in Mexico. 🇲🇽

And there’s much more to the Xolo than its distinctive appearance.

❤️ Loyal
👀 Watchful
🧠 Intelligent
🐾 Independent
🤎 Deeply bonded to family

Xolos come in three sizes: Toy, Miniature, and Standard, and here’s something many people don’t realize: not all Xolos are hairless. There is also a coated variety.

They can be wonderful companions for the right home, but early socialization, positive training, exercise, and proper skin care for hairless Xolos are important.

Could this ancient breed be your perfect match?
