Stamps

Last month the US Postal Service launched the Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet stamps on the Ellen Degeneres Show.  The stamps use photos taken by Sally Anderson-Bruce of adopted shelter animals in her hometown of New Milford, Connecticut. Postmaster General John E Potter said:

“These stamps continue a Postal Service tradition of bringing attention to serious social issues of the day … one letter at a time,” said Potter. “This campaign will increase public awareness about sheltered pets and our hope is that it will encourage pet adoption and promote humane and responsible pet care.”

Degeneres co-owns Halo, a holistic pet food company, which is donating a million meals to shelters around the country to celebrate the release of the stamps. Degeneres said of the stamps:

“This is a subject that I am extremely passionate about. By working together, we can find good homes for millions of adoptable, homeless and abandoned pets,” said DeGeneres. "And until they get adopted, I'm happy to say that Halo and I are giving one million meals to shelter pets that are waiting for you."

Support and promote shelter pet adoption through these fun stamps.  You can purchase stamps online through the Stamps to the Rescue Campaign site.
