There are some fantastic pets here needing great homes...please consider adopting from A Better Pet!
News
UPDATE JAN 2010 - Holidays are over, weather seems stuck on snow snow snow. Please be sure to keep your animals protected from the extreme temperatures -- they should be inside at night and never outside for too long. Hypothermia and other complications of overexposure to cold are easy to avoid if you use common sense. Think of the animals without a place to hang their leash or curl up by a warm hearth, and consider adopting a rescue next time you extend your clan.
http://www.petsbest.com/petadoption has some great articles to help process the many decisions about bringing in a new dependent as well as how making the right selection and being prepared can help ensure a rewarding relationship.
For those looking to find new homes for their animals A Better Pet can help but only if you are able to foster your animals until a suitable home is found.
The rules & requirements for using A Better Pet LLC petfinder services are simple.
To place an animal:
1. The animal(s) must remain in a home or non shelter environment until a proper adoptive home is found. Give all ways of contact and agree to check email regularly for any possible prospective adopters.
2. Submit a detailed "personals ad" description of the animal keeping in mind what the best possible home for this animal might be. The more detailed and informational, the better. Your content may be edited. Review other animals listed for adoption.
3.HIGHLY recommend submitting up to 3 digital photos of each animal. Try to get digital pictures that reflect the animal in the best possible light. Avoid red eyes, blurry shots, etc.
2. SubmitRequirements for placing animals on the petfinder site for A Better Pet which includes screening inquiries include requires detailed info on the animal. This information includes breed or breed type, temperament or personality, social skills (i.e., does your cat like dogs or vice versa), health, age and activity level.
3/ You must also promise to follow up on any and all leads sent your way for an adoptive home for your pet and be available and check regularly your email. If your needs are urgent and the animal must leave immediately, there is unfortunately not a lot we can do. Only rarely can we physically take animals into foster care. Hence the request for more foster homes!
Thanks. And enjoy perusing the available animals on our list. They all deserve a chance as lovely companion animals and with the right match making, that's what will happen. Bear in mind there are some days this list is very long with available, deserving animals, and other times very few or one. But changes can occur daily so check back to keep our available pets in mind.
