USPS Unveils 50th Anniversary ‘Love Forever’ Stamps at Austin Pets Alive!

AUSTIN, Texas – The United States Postal Service (USPS) introduced its new “Love 2023 Forever” stamps Austin Pets Live! (APA!) Thursday morning.

Each year the USPS publishes a new “love forever“Stamp issued one month before Valentine’s Day as part of the “First Day of Issue Ceremony”. For the 2023 season, USPS decided to have the stamp’s theme honor the cats and dogs that people love to give gifts to throughout the year and shower hugs.

“Each stamp evokes feelings of warmth and playfulness and features a cute and cuddly animal resting its front paws on a large red heart. These adorable stamps are sure to add a little whimsy to your Valentines, and are also great for use on letters and cards of the year,” the USPS said in a press release.

Animal lovers can choose between a puppy or a kitten leaning on a big red heart to send mail to their loved ones.

USPS held a dedication ceremony on January 19 at 11:00 am in an APA flysheet area! Parking spot. The popular non-profit Austin was chosen by the USPS for the unveiling because of the theme of the stamps.

“At Austin Pets Alive! “The majority of the dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens on campus were once on euthanasia lists at other shelters,” the USPS said on a site For the event. “They have approximately 350 adoptable animals on campus today and approximately 1,100 animals in foster care. They recently celebrated the 100,000th rescue since the founding of their nonprofit organization – a demonstration of LOVE in action.”

Judy de Torok, USPS vice president of corporate affairs, served as the duty officer at Thursday morning’s event.

APA!, located at 1156 W. Cesar Chavez St., will be closed on Thursday. Normal opening hours will return on Friday.
