Where's my pen and stationery?
The United States Postal Service (USPS) may have a lot of problems, but there's one thing they're doing right.
On April 30, 2010, the USPS will unveil a new version of an extremely popular stamp they issued several years ago that features real shelter pets. And the message is a good one: adopt a shelter pet. This social awareness campaign has "adopted" a pretty powerful spokesperson, too. Ellen DeGeneres, one of my favorite female comics, is a strong advocate of shelter adoptions and, I suspect, will be promoting the stamps on her show and in other marketing media.
Look at those adorable faces! Kind of makes you want to write a real letter to someone, doesn't it?

wow that is fantastic!!
It really is time they brought those back. Have you seen the new ones you can design yourself?
I'm always writing "real" letters, so I'm definitely going to pick up some of those cute stamps! My daughter just adopted a cute little dog from a shelter.
I'm going to have to get some of those! Thanks for the heads up!
They're wonderful! Shelter pets are the best--including this huge beast that I don't need but who has beds all over the house so she can be comfortable wherever she follows me!
Yup yup! Discovered those yesterday. Let's spread the word even further!!!
Twink!
I'm so looking furward to my mail kharrier bringing some of these along with my biskhuit!

I actually write "real" letters from time to time, too, and I will definitely buy some of those adorable stamps! When I buy stamps, I always ask what they have that's new or different. I've gotten some really cool ones that way! Thanks for the info!
Love it!!! Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for the info. We need more awareness for the orphaned pets. I'll be sure to pick up some of these stamps. I agree with you about Ellen, she wears her heart on her sleeve when it comes to dogs - a great spokesperson.

I've already pre-ordered these stamps - aren't they great. I figure they will make great Mother's Day gifts.
Thanks for becoming a follower on our blog - we look forward to getting to know you better.

Wanted to buy these adorable stamps the other day, but of course they weren't available yet. They will make a nice addition to my kids stamp collection.
Great Story ... A+
