Would you like all the adoptable pets you have listed on your Adopt-a-Pet.com account to appear on your own website, blog, or Facebook page?  It’s easy! And it updates instantly too, the minute you mark a pet as adopted, hidden, or deleted, the pet disappears immediately from everywhere else too!

For your website, you can use our customizable Portable Pet List tool. Just pick your preferred layout, colors, and sort order, and boom! The code is instantly generated for you to copy and paste into your website’s HTML: http://www.adoptapet.com/shelter/portable_pet_list/create

Purina continues to help feed homeless dogs and cats

Our friends at Purina® Pets for People continue to help shelters and rescue groups with donations feeding over 66,000 dogs and cats in 2013!

Purina’s support of animal welfare takes the form of Animal Welfare Support programs for non-profit organizations, described in detail on www.PetsforPeople.com. Their programs such as Purina® Pets for 55+, Pro Plan® Rally to Rescue® and the Purina ONE® Pet Welfare Program are dedicated to providing support for local animal welfare organizations in their efforts to find homes for adoptable animals.

Occasionally the Nestlé Purina PetCare Company may have food donations available in your area. When you register your organization on www.PetsforPeople.com you will be automatically considered for any food donations that become available near you. During 2012, Purina donated more than $13 million in pet food and litter. In addition, should your organization be affected by a natural disaster, Purina may be able to provide food to help feed your organization’s animals during your time of need.

And, of course… As always, we thank the wonderful, pet-loving people at Purina and Bayer Animal Health for supporting all of us in our mission and making Adopt-a-Pet.com a free service!
