Before You Shop, Consider All The Pets For Adoption On Adoptapet.com


There are thousands of pets for adoption and it makes sense that you should look into this option before you go to a breeder. Just look at the numbers – about 4 million dogs and cats are killed each year because of overpopulation. Overall, about 25 to 30 percent of dogs for adoption are purebred and 70 to 75%, of course mixed-breed pups that can’t wait to find their forever home. This is where Adoptapet.com comes to the rescue!

By connecting with over 12,000 animal shelters, humane societies, SPCAs, pet rescue groups, and pet adoption agencies, this site showcases thousands of pets for adoption, for free.

What Else You Can Do to Help


If you want to go the extra mile for these furry cuties, you can spread the word. On each animal posting, you can share the pets for adoption on popular social networks or you can email it to a friend. Just because it wasn’t the dog or cat for you, perhaps it’s the perfect match for one of your friends. And that will give you a warm feeling inside!


Adoptapet.com Extras


Adoptapet.com has lots of extras. On each of the individual pet posts, there are links that let you donate to a shelter and print pet information. There are also pet articles that cover a host of important topics. On top of that, there’s the Save-A-Pet TV show, where famous pet owners such as Drew Barrymore, share their experiences with us.


Remember, when you adopt a dog or cat from a humane society, an animal shelter, an SPCA, or a dog rescue or cat rescue group, you are saving a life. And that makes you a hero – just one look into your pet’s eyes reaffirms that fact. And Adoptapet.com is your partner in saving lives!
