How Adopt-a-Pet.com Helps You Buy a Pet From a Shelter

By Adopt-a-Pet.com

Adopt-a-Pet.com is the world's largest non-profit homeless pet adoption website. We are like an ad agency for shelters and shelter pets, helping them get exposure. Millions of people see our database of pets each month, and we display many tens of thousands of homeless pets to potential adopters. Our website makes it easy for anyone with an internet connection to find descriptions and pictures of adoptable animals by location, breed, gender, age, size, and color. Shelters post the pets, and we get them exposure, but we need your help! Please search and buy a pet for yourself, or tell a friend about our website so that they can search and buy a pet. In the mean time if you would like to learn more about adoption checkout our blog (http://blog.adoptapet.com/), or learn what you can do as a Adopt-a-Pet.com volunteer (http://www.adoptapet.com/public/help-animal-shelters.html).
