Like you guys haven’t heard this already — I’m a little late in telling you, but the United States Postal Service, last month, announced its launch of 5 irresistible postage stamps featuring pets!

The United States Postal Service is out with the new Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet stamps! These adorable 44 cent stamps feature cats and dogs who were adopted from shelters and are now living in happy, healthy homes.  Not only will these stamps help raise awareness for adopting shelter pets, but the campaign has inspired a pet food company to donate a million meals to shelter pets around the country. The USPS calls the campaign Adopt-A-Pet: Stamps to the Rescue! The postal store at this link (previous link) has tons of other sets of stamps and stuff you can purchase as well. They make great pet-lover’s gifts!

The 5 irresistible postage pets that the author, Peggy Frezon, selected include:

1. Teddy:  A wire haired Jack Russell Terrier who was given up when she had puppies.

2. Willow:  A gray Maltese cat who was left in a box at the door of a shelter.

3. Buddy:  A golden retriever who was purchased from a pet shop, then given up due to health problems.

4. Peaches:  A gray, white and tan shorthaired cat who was born under a porch and had to be trapped to be rescued.

5. Trevor:  A yellow Labrador retriever found abandoned at a new home construction site.
