30 years ago, Petfinder started as a wish to connect more pets with more people. That wish made countless connections possible. And with every wish for a pet, a grant, a second chance; Petfinder has listened and worked hard to find them a home. Watch a few stories about wishes here, get inspired, and make a wish of your own.
