Stamps to the (Animal) Rescue

Today the Postal Service unveiled its “Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet” sheet of commemorative stamps, kicking off a major 8-week promotion with an appearance by Postmaster General Jack Potter on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The commemorative sheet of stamps continues a half-century tradition of promoting attention and awareness of national social issues. The set features photographs of 10 shelter pets adopted through the Animal Welfare Society of New Milford CT. The stamps go on sale April 30 following a First-Day-Of-Issuance ceremony at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in Hollywood.
