Dog lovers rejoice Today August 26 is your day. National Dog Day to be exact.

National Dog Day was started in 2004 to recognize the massive number of shelter pets looking for a good home and to encourage their adoption. If you're looking for a companion of your own and ready for the responsibility take a look at the ASPCA adoption site or Petfinder.com to find a shelter near you.

HuffPosters shared some adorable photos of their best friends and we want to see those furry pals that hold a special place in your heart. So upload a photo below or tweet us HuffPostGreen with your plans to celebrate this joyous occasion.
