Want a pet?

dog-cat-791341

Just in case you all start asking, no, unfortunately these two cuties aren’t up for adoption (well, unfortunate for you, fortunate for them!). But plenty of cats and dogs out there are sitting in shelters, just waiting for their new home and loving owner.

So if you want a pet, we wholeheartedly recommend adoption. If you want a certain breed, many no kill centres (and indeed rescue organisations for that particular breed) have pure breds that have been abandoned or rescued, looking for a home. So adopt!

We love North Shore Animal League of America and Best Friends Animal Society who work hard to provide a home for all animals (and Best Friends have the hugely successful TV show, Dogtown). And right now they are working tirelessly to help the animals left starving and homeless after the devestating Haiti earthquakes. Click on the links above to see who is available for adoption (or to make donations to these amazing organisations).

And we just came across petango.com. The online service provides links to many different reputable shelters across the country so you’re sure to find your perfect pet with their help.

So now you have a number of options to help you find your perfect, furry friend, and all without having to leave your home or office (at least initially).

What are you waiting for? Give a pet a loving home!

Adopt-A-Dog…Meet Billie Jean

BillieJean_1104A

Adding a bundle of fur in the form of a cat or dog (or possibly both) is  one of the most rewarding things  you can do (well, short of  curing cancer or  birthing babies, but you know what we mean…).

Animals are not only adorable but they will love you unconditionally, and all for a bit of affection, food and a warm place to sleep. It’s pretty much the best deal you can think of when it comes to being loved.

If you’re thinking of getting a pet, then check in with us each week as we present the pets of the week (a dog and a cat) that are up for adoption from shelters, like our favourite, North Shore Animal League.

This little cutie-pie is Billie Jean. She’s a female mix who has the biggest, most soulful eyes ever and the kind of face that practically shouts love.

If you’d like to adopt her, or another animal, check out North Shore Animal League today, especially if you’re in the tri-state area.
