Enfield Area Pets Go Online

T W Small Dog Rescue, Enfield, recently started listing homeless pets on Petfinder.com, the oldest and largest database of adoptable animals on the internet. The site currently has over 200,000 homeless pets listed, and it is updated continuously.

Betsy Saul, president and co-founder of Petfinder, said, "Residents of the area will now be able to look at local pets from the comfort of home. Those same pets, though, will also be presented to a much greater pool of potential adopters outside their own community."

More then 9,000 animal welfare organizations in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico post their pets on Petfinder.com. T W Small Dog Rescue pets can be viewed at http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/CT279.html. Once visitors to the site find a pet they are interested in, they contact the shelter where it is housed. Each animal welfare group has its own policies and handles its own adoptions.

Petfinder.com was created in 1996 as a grassroots project by Jared and Betsy Saul to end the euthanasia of adoptable pets. Last year alone the site helped 1.5 million pets to find new families, making it the most life-saving initiative in animal welfare. It is ranked 124th on the internet for number of page views and is the largest pet site on the internet and includes not only adoptable pets, but a large library of pet related information, message boards, and more.

Petfinder has also allied with PetHealth, Inc., to provide a gift of one month of ShelterCare Pet Insurance, paid for by Petfinder.com, to every dog or cat adopted from a Petfindercom member in approved states and provinces. The program is the first of its kind for shelter pets.
