It is a sad reality that animal shelters and rescues are bursting with homeless animals.  Sure, some of them may have behavior issues but the truth is that most of them are perfectly wonderful, well-behaved companions who were dumped by their owners because they got too big, they couldn't afford them,...

Petfinder is a popular site but finding individual animals is difficult. It does not help place individual animals; unless a shelter - and to try to search for particular animas there's animals misrepresented by breed. Trying to find a particular breed isn't easy because there are so many that aren't...

Kudos to the family who thought to take advantage of the internet to help pets.  Millions of animals have a greater opportunity for home placement and medical care.  Additionally, there is a larger awareness of abuse and neglect which can come to light and be addressed.

I stumbled upon Petfinder a little over a year ago and I was quite impressed. It is a great website that shows all the cute available animals for adoption around the United States. Not all of the facilities are on the website, but they are always adding more and expanding.  This is a great website to find an animal in need.

I really like the search function on Petfinder.  You can search by location, age of dog, and even breed of animal.  This is great if you are looking in a certain area, or even for a certain kind of animal.  It will give you the information on how to find out more about the...

There are so many homeless pets out there and petfinder.com helps match the homeless pet you have been looking for to you.  It's very user friendly.  You simply put in what animal you want to adopt, the breed, the size of the pet, the sex of the pet, the age of the pet, and your location.  Petfinder then gives you a list of all the homeless animals that match your criteria, starting with the pets that are closest to your home.  They also have a great classified section for those looking to rehome their pet, looking to adopt a pet, or who have lost or found a pet.  They also have a forum area...

 There are a lot  of charities out there trying to help pets get homes. Petfinder not only helps you find a pet that really needs a home it can help you if you loose one. I like the way you can check all types of rescue groups and for all kinds of animals.  Check this out and see what you think. Do not buy pets from breeders or stories when there are so many needing homes.

The Petfinder website allows you to search for basically any pet you want.  You can search by breed, animal, state, zip code, city, etc.  I think it's wonderful that there is a trusted place where shelters can list the many, many animals that need forever homes.  They also have pet classifieds where you can search "by owner" listings or place a listing for a pet you need a home for.  There's many other things to do on there:  games, volunteer sign up, etc.  Check it out !  If you're looking for a pet, petfinder is the place to go.

PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE adopt your next pet through here! If you want a certain breed you can find it, whether it is a dog,cat,rat, or rabbit. You can get some farm pets, reptiles, birds and more here. I have adopted several through this method, and you can look to see which shelter is closest to you. These pets deserve a second chance, and some have not even had a first chance yet! Very good place to find your next pet!!

Petfinder is a fantastic web site.  I was able to get my dog from them, just by chance.  I was searching through the site just "looking." I found a dog who was a rescue from down south.  He's part Shar Pei and part German Shepard.  He is fantastic!  Not only did I adopt him, I was able to do some volunteer work through the animal facility where my dog came from.

Adopting an animal from this website isn't totally easy.  You are checked out, they do call your vet, you do have a home inspection.  If a site didn't offer that, they wouldn't be a loving or caring animal organization. The people...
