June 14th marks National Flag Day, a patriotic celebration of the day the United States adopted its flag in 1777. At Four Paws Place, we believe in honoring Old Glory with red, white, and woofs! Whether you’re taking a stroll through your neighborhood or planning a backyard celebration, there are plenty of pet-friendly ways to get your paws involved in the patriotic fun.
