Happy 15th Birthday to PETFINDER!

What It’s All About
In honor of Petfinder’s 15th birthday, Montreal Dog Blog and Petfinder is asking people everywhere to pledge to spread the word online about adoptable pets today, March 15, 2011.

What is Petfinder?

Petfinder is a website designed to help people find the perfect pet for their home. The site allows users to search for and learn about pets as well as place ads for pets they have that need a home.

History

Petfinder was created in 1995 as an easy way for people to look for new pets. As of February 2010, the site has been responsible for more than 13 million adoptions.

Function

Petfinder allows users to search for pets based on a number of criteria. Users can search for a particular type of animal and further narrow that search down by breed, age, size, gender and location.

Benefits

Petfinder works with 12,500 different animal shelters as well as individual animal owners, allowing for an exceptionally large database of animals. More animals means it is easier to find the exact right animal for you or your families needs.

Types

Petfinder carries listings for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, horses, pigs, rabbits, reptiles, barnyard animals and small and furry companions.

Potential

Petfinder is updated daily with new animals, making it possible to constantly have a new selection of animals available. The website also offers a great deal of animal information, so you can learn about a particular animal or breed before you adopt.
