Adopt a pet… and the Internet!

Petfinder Adopt-the-Internet Day

Tomorrow’s a big day… in honor of its 15th birthday, Petfinder is asking all of us to adopt the Internet and spread the word about pet adoption.  How can you help?

  • Add a badge to your site.
  • Take the Petfinder pledge to tell at least one person about pet adoption.
  • Donate your Facebook status and photo to an adoptable Petfinder pet.  Simply replace your photo with one from the Adopt-the-Internet All-Stars gallery and post one of these messages:
    •  More than 320,000 pets are waiting for homes on Petfinder.com. Help
      Petfinder Adopt the Internet today and find forever homes for as many as
      possible!
    • I adopted my pet from Petfinder and now I want to help get this pet
      adopted! If you want to help pets in need of forever homes, please
      repost this!
  • Share an adoptable Petfinder pet on Twitter with the hashtag #adopttheinternet.
  • Add a link to your blog, Facebook or Twitter post to Petfinder’s Adopt the Internet page.

There are also many other cool ways to celebrate Petfinder’s birthday – check them out! Our good friends at Grouchy Puppy, Will My Dog Hate Me, and FIDO Friendly will be holding blogathons, highlighting several adoptable pets throughout the day.  Feeling silly?  You can even caption Petfinder photos at I Can Has Cheezburger.

I found Ms. Bella on Petfinder, and you know she’s awesome.  There are many animals out there that need a home, so if you have love to give… adopt! 

Spread the word… happy birthday to Petfinder!

  1. I had to put my post up early since the biped won't be home tomorrow. So glad to be a part of such a wonderful movement!

  2. I didn't know you found Bella on Petfinder! That is so awesome!
    I'm promoting Reggie today. He was didn't find his forever home before our local shelter closed down for good. Now he is in a rescue and needs a loving home. I hope promoting him today will help! Happy hopping!

  3. Caren, Oz and Pip – I'm so happy to be a part of it as well!

    Mel – I did indeed. Saw her picture and fell in love… made the hub go meet her at the local PetSmart and the rest is history. 🙂 I'll definitely share Reggie's info on Twitter – I hope he finds a forever home!

  4. This Adopt the Internet thing is dangerous. I'm doing all this scouring on Petfinder to post adoptable pups on Pru's twitter and all I keep thinking is how much I want another dog. Hopefully all the ones I fall in love with get snatched up before I eventually cave in 🙂

  5. Ashley – me too! I keep seeing all of these adorably furry faces and want to adopt them all. The name of this blog should mean that's no surprise, I guess… 🙂

    Cate – Agreed! I'm enjoying reading everyone's posts today. 🙂

  6. Definitely spreading the word, what a great cause to celebrate! Ellie is from petfinder too, so how can we not share?!
