🎉 Today marks the official 75th anniversary of Peanuts! On October 2, 1950, the first Peanuts comic strip, shown here, was published in seven newspapers nationwide. Charles M. Schulz was 27 years old.

A Note From Patrick: Remembering Jane Goodall Patrick McDonnell shares a moving tribute to Dr. Jane Goodall, reflecting on their friendship, Me…Jane, and her legacy of hope and compassion.

In this heartfelt letter, Patrick McDonnell reflects on his friendship with Dr. Jane Goodall, which began with a simple MUTTS comic strip featuring his "animal activist" character Shtinky Puddin’. ❤️

We were heartbroken to learn of Dr. Jane Goodall's passing. She changed the way we understand animals and has inspired millions, including each of us on Team MUTTS.

Thank you, Jane, for being a bright light, an incredible role model, and the embodiment of humanity's connection to the natural world.

Yesh! This fall and winter, Patrick McDonnell is going on tour to celebrate the release of his new picture book “The Gift of Everything.” (Out on 10/7 and available for preorder now!) If you’re able, we’d love for you to join us.

Did you know? Fostering can exponentially increase a pet's chance of being adopted. Outside of the shelter, pets can decompress, let their true personality shine, and improve their social skills! Not only that, it can clear a space in the shelter for another pet in need of being rescued.
