Hey there, fabulous pawrents! 🏳️‍🌈 This Pride Month, let's embrace love, acceptance, and all the colors of the rainbow! Whether you're a dog mom or dad, or a proud parent of any pet, we're here to say Happy Pride!

And what better way to celebrate than with your fur baby by your side! Here are 6 fun ways to wag our tails and celebrate diversity:

#1 

ATTEND PRIDE PARADES OR PET-FRIENDLY PRIDE EVENTS

Many cities organize Pride parades and events that are pet-friendly. Check your local community calendar to see if there are any pet-centric Pride activities happening near you. Join in the festivities and proudly walk with your dog to celebrate love and equality.

#2

DRESS UP YOUR PUP

Show your support for the LGBTQ+ community by dressing up your furry friend in colorful Pride-themed outfits, bandanas, or accessories. You can find rainbow-themed collars, leashes, or harnesses to give them a vibrant and festive look.

#3

SHARE YOUR PRIDE ON SOCIAL MEDIA

Take adorable photos of your pup with Pride-themed decorations or props and share them on your social media platforms. Use hashtags like #PridePups or #LoveIsLove to spread the message of inclusivity and acceptance. You may also consider updating your profile picture or cover photo with a Pride-themed image featuring your dog. And don’t forget to take us @wagandwonder so we can see all the fun you’re having!

#4

SUPPORT LGBTQ+ DOG ORGANIZATIONS

Research and donate (your time or money) to LGBTQ+ focused animal rescue organizations, shelters, or advocacy groups. These organizations often work to provide safe spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals and their pets, offer assistance with pet-related issues, and promote equality within the animal welfare community.

#5

LEARN AND EDUCATE

Take the opportunity to educate yourself and others about LGBTQ+ history, struggles, and achievements. Read books, watch documentaries, or listen to podcasts that highlight LGBTQ+ voices and experiences. Share what you've learned with friends, family, and fellow dog parents to promote understanding and empathy.

#6

FOSTER OR ADOPT A SHELTER PET

Consider opening your home and heart to a shelter pet, especially those who may have been abandoned or overlooked due to their breed, age, or appearance. Providing a safe and loving environment for an animal in need is a wonderful way to celebrate love and acceptance during Pride Month.

Acting with love, compassion, and respect for all individuals is something our pets teach us every day so let’s take a cue from them while we celebrate Pride Month!
