(KYMA, KECY/CNN) - Dog lovers, Wednesday could be a perfect day to consider adopting a new four-legged friend.

May 20th is National Rescue Dog Day.

According to the ASPCA, approximately 3.3-million dogs enter shelters every year.

To celebrate the holiday, think about adopting or fostering some of them.

You can also volunteer at a local animal shelter – if it’s still open – or offer a donation.

Many shelters are closed because of the coronavirus pandemic.

But some are still offering adoptions through social media.

USA Today says that pet adoptions have skyrocketed during the outbreak.
