Petfinder.com
Petfinder.com (also Petfinder.org), is an online database of adoptable pets in the care of about 10,000 animal welfare organizations in the U.S., Canada and beyond. The site has facilitated ten million adoptions in its first ten years. At any one time, 200,000 pets are listed-- dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, small furry animal, horses, pigs and more. Some animal welfare groups report that they have more than doubled their adoptions as a result of Petfinder listings.
Users can search by kind of animal, breed, gender, size and/or age. The results of the search are ranked in proximity to the user's Zip Code. Each shelter and rescue group has its own home page and pet list on the site. The pets have their own home pages, too?with a description and usually a photograph. Shelter personnel and volunteers keep the lists of pets continuously updated, so the number of pets changes daily.
The site also includes discussion boards, a resource library and classified ads.
Petfinder.com is sponsorship supported and free to potential adopters and to its members.
