The Shiba Inu cryptocurrency development team recently took to social media to acknowledge International Dog Day, celebrated annually on August 26th.
American animal welfare advocate Colleen Paige established the holiday to raise awareness about dog rescue and well-being. Paige adopted "Sheltie," her first dog, from an animal shelter on August 26th when she was 10 years old.
On National Dog Day, individuals are encouraged to support canine welfare through actions such as:
- Adopting a dog from a shelter
- Conducting safety checks for home pets
- Donating supplies to animal organizations
- Sending dog-related gifts to family and friends
Paige's mission extends to fostering appreciation for family dogs and those that serve humanitarian roles.
The cryptocurrency community has a special affinity for National Dog Day, as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are prominent cryptocurrencies. Dogwifhat (WIF), Floki (FLOKI), and Bonk (BONK) also rank among the top 100 cryptos.
Dogecoin has its own unofficial holiday on April 20th. However, August 26th remains a significant day for canine meme coin enthusiasts, recognizing the dogs that have inspired successful cryptocurrencies.
Many community members joined the Shiba Inu team in celebrating International Dog Day, showcasing their shared love for their canine companions.
