Petfinder has helped pets find homes since 1995 — and now we’re launching FurKeeps, a new campaign designed to help KEEP pets in homes.

At Petfinder.com/FurKeeps, you’ll find links to a New Adopters Checklist and First 30 Days tips for both cats and dogs — as well as resources for handling the problems most likely to cause a pet to be surrendered to a shelter:

• Moving
• Behavioral issues
• Cost
• Pet health problems
• Pet aggression

We’re so excited about FurKeeps, we’re throwing a week-long kick-off from March 8-14:

• A Twitter scavenger hunt with fun prizes at 11am and 4pm Monday-Saturday! #FurKeeps
• A live Facebook chat with some of our FurKeeps experts, including:
• Liz Marsden, C.P.D.T. Monday, March 8, 12-2pm EST
• Dr. Grant Gugisberg D.V.M. Tuesday, March 9, 12-2pm EST
• Pia Silvani, C.P.D.T. Wednesday, March 10, 12-2pm EST
• Jacque Schultz, MA C.P.D.T. Thursday, March 11, 12-2pm EST
• Elise “Ledy” Van Kavage, Esq. Friday, March 12, 12-2pm EST
• A week-long Ask the Experts forum
  with our experts, including dog and cat behaviorists, veterinarians, a small-animal expert and
  others where your questions will be answered within 24 hours. (Meet all our experts here.)
