Across the United States, around 3.3 million dogs go to animal shelters for refuge annually. Of this number, around 670,000 of them are euthanized (this could be because the number of animals that could be sheltered are beyond the capacity of animal shelters). Thankfully, this number is in decline because of an increase in the percentage of animals adopted. I believe this could not have been possible without kind-hearted people and institutions.

And speaking of kind-hearted people and institutions, this pizzeria helps shelter dogs get adopted with this genius idea: by attaching pictures of pups to the front of their delivery boxes.
The Just Pizza and Wings Co. restaurant in Amherst has partnered with the Niagara SPCA to attach photos of adoptable dogs to the front of their delivery boxes.
If the cute pictures aren’t enough to sweeten the deal for potential adopters, Just Pizza has also offered to give away free $50 gift certificates to anyone who adopts a dog from the shelter.
And, fortunately, things are going according to plan.
Since posting about the initiative on Facebook last week, the shelter has received an outpouring of support from customers, national news outlets, and social media users.
