According to a 1997 study of 1,000 animal shelters, conducted by the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy, approximately one million dogs and 584,000 cats were taken in as strays. Unfortunately for both owners and animals, only 16% of these dogs and 2% of cats were returned to their owners. These statistics are alarming.

Tag Day is a major effort by American Humane to combat these statistics. We want to educate consumers on the benefits of identifying their companion animals with ID tags, license tags, microchipping, or tattooing. Identification is your pet's ticket home!

Tag Day unites thousands of local shelters, veterinary clinics, animal care and control agencies, and other humane agencies in the common goal of educating pet owners about the benefits of tagging
their companion animals.

To help promote this event in your community, contact us or your local shelter to help in their efforts. Everyone can help by identifying their pets and encouraging others to do the same. An ID tag is your pet's one-way ticket home. Make every day Tag Day, and
join our efforts to increase the number of animals returned home.
