NATIONAL WILDLIFE DAY—SEPTEMBER 4

National Wildlife Day (celebrated February 22 and September 4), founded in 2005 by animal behaviorist and philanthropist Colleen Paige, serves to bring awareness of endangered animals nationally as well as globally who need to be preserved and rescued from possible extinction each year. This holiday also acknowledges zoos and outstanding animal sanctuaries around the world for everything they do to help preserve this planet’s animals and educate the public about conservation, especially children—our animals’ future caretakers and conservationists.

The Palo Alto Humane Society is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit, charitable, volunteer-supported organization. PAHS is one of the few humane societies nationwide with no animal shelter. Instead of managing animals inside a shelter, we work to keep animals out of the shelter through humane programs in intervention, advocacy, and education. For a century, our mission has been to alleviate the suffering of animals, increase public sensitivity to animal issues, and elevate the status of animals in our society.
