Today Starts Petfinder’s Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet Week!
September 17th, 2012
What is the easiest pet to get adopted? If you said puppies or kittens, you’d be correct. This week, Petfinder wants to bring attention to pets who seem to have more trouble finding their forever home:
- Deaf
- Blind
- Old
- Not-a-dog-or-cat
- Black
- With a health condition
- Doesn’t look perfect
- Is a breed with a rep
Our world is made more beautiful by its diversity, and we are made more beautiful through our compassion. If you’re considering bringing a new pet into your family, please consider a pet who might not be the best looking of the bunch. Or one who has mellowed with age. Or one who has some health issues that you can help manage. Or who might need some extra help in learning how to navigate through life. Or maybe, consider adopting a pet that’s not a dog or cat. And remember, black is beautiful!
