Major, President-elect Joe Biden’s German shepherd, is being honored with an inauguration ceremony of his own next week, thrown by the animal shelter he was adopted from.
Major will be the first rescue dog to live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue when the president-elect is sworn in on Jan. 20, inspiring the Delaware Humane Association (DHA) to celebrate with a ceremony they're calling an "indoguration."

On Jan. 17 at 3 p.m., the DHA and Pumpkin Petcare (a pet insurance group) will host the "Indoguration," which they're advertising as "the world's largest virtual party for dogs," according to an event invite. The nonprofit seeks donations of $10 or more for admission to the Zoom soiree, "to help more shelter animals like Major live the American Dream!"
The DHA cares for over 2,000 cats and dogs each year, providing food, shelter and medical attention, as well as affordable vaccination clinics, microchipping and a pet food pantry.
