Y’all might have seen this on The Bark’s blog yesterday. The U.S. Postal Service has announced the release of a new set of stamps designed to bring awareness and attention to animal rescue. The stamps, designed by Derry Noyes of Washington, DC, feature photographs by Sally Andersen-Bruce of former (now adopted!) shelter pets in New Milford, Conn.
Oh, sorry. For those of you younger folks still trying to catch up: See, stamps are these things you put on letters and other things you send through the mail. Still confused? Hmm. Google it?
The stamps are part of a campaign called Stamps to the Rescue in partnership with Ellen DeGeneres and Halo pet foods looking to provide meals and homes to adoptable pets. The stamps won’t officially be released until April 30th, but you can pre-order them now from the Postal Service.

That first little guy looks like a Muppet! How adorable.
I did not know these stamps are coming out! I will be in line on 4/30 to do my part! (Still, kind of sad to see there’s no pug.) -
These are fantastic- Canada should do this. Thank you for sharing!

Saw this on the Ellen show!!! I totally want them. So cute and great idea!
-
Aaaaah! The 2nd dog on the bottom looks like an Aussie mix! I’m totally buying 10 books immediately!

Yep. That first pup is SO STINKING CUTE. Man…

OMG – Boone should TOTALLY be on a stamp! i love these. can’t wait to get them…

I love these too. They’re cute enough to make me start writing letters again. Whaaat?
Secrets? I wish they had made a full 10-stamp set of dogs and a full set of cats. Just sayin’.

After gazing at the great poster in the post office all month, on my way home from work today I will be able to stop at the post office and BUY THESE STAMPS!!! YAY!!! We have had many rescues over the years, as have my sisters. I am buying a sheet of stamps for each of them and myself, and then some more to use on mail!
