About Me

Petfinder Blurbs

Petfinder is an online, searchable database of animals who need homes. It is also a directory of more than 10,000 animal shelters and adoption organizations across the USA, Canada and Mexico. Organizations maintain their own home pages and available-pet database.

Our mission: to use the Internet to 1) increase public awareness of the availability of high-quality adoptable pets and 2) increase the overall effectiveness of pet-adoption programs across North America until the euthanasia of adoptable pets is eliminated.

From the comfort of their personal computers, pet lovers can search for a pet that best matches their needs. They can then also view a shelter's Web page and discover what services it offers. Petfinder also includes classified ads, discussion forums and a library of animal-welfare articles. Petfinder is updated DAILY.
