modern technology helps more homeless pets find homes with good adopters
not so long ago if you wanted to adopt a pet, you went to the local “pound” and tried to find the right pet to take home. but what if you wanted a great big dog but all the shelter had were tiny dogs and lots of cats? what if you lived in a town where all the shelter pets were adopted quickly and you could not find your next pet? that is not a problem any more because of the Internet.
most shelters and rescue groups across the country now use services such as petfinder.com to help find the right homes for the animals in their care. this helps save animals because:
- Potential adopters can search for a pet that fits their lifestyle and living arrangements.
- Shelters in areas with many homeless animals can reach adopters in other areas.
- Rescue groups that focus on particular breeds or types can more easily find animals needing their help.
some sites that help match adopters and animals
a site to help rescues and shelters
there are so many sites now that list adoptable pets, keeping them all up to date would be very hard (if not impossible). so how does a shelter take advantage of the Internet to list their adoptable pets? there are services that can help. one such service is the pet adoption portal. it is a free service where shelters and rescue groups can enter their animal information one time and it is shared across many listing websites
