To serve us better, Petfinder has cut us off from Rescuegroups and is requiring us to perform double data entry. Private and public animal shelters (“kill” and “no-kill”), humane associations, rescue groups, and even veterinarians can list pets on a number of these websites.

Last year I went to a seminar sponsored by Petfinder and Petco and Susan Green (outreach@) was adamant that Rescue Groups should keep the animals as first priority and support each other better. I did not know that our information was not going to PetFinders until they sent me a message saying I had not updated our list in 30 days.

The Benefits Of Adopting A Pet

One of the best ways to combat puppy mills and greedy backyard breeders who care very little for the health and well-being of our beloved canine companions, is to adopt from your local shelter or other animal rescue organization.

I also read a lot of stories of Americans (which we aren’t but to an untrained ear I suppose could be) being looked down on and not wanted as adopters, possibly due to previous experiences of pets being abandoned by military personnel.

I say not directly since most of these dogs probably are descended from a puppy mill dog. Small breed dogs are often neglected due to some or the other reasons, or maybe because of just the myths prevailing about them. According to the Humane Society of the United States, between three and four million dogs and cats are euthanized each year because people are not able to keep their pets, shelters are not able to house them all, and not enough people adopt animals.adopt a dog
