Furry friends in need are the focus of National Adopt a Shelter Pet Day.
The annual event, celebrated on April 30, was created as a way to encourage adoption of pets currently waiting in shelters across the United States.
People on social media tweeted photos of their pets that they adopted using #AdoptAShelterPetDay.
