TWO
on ANIMAL ADOPTION
The Humane Society
http://humanesociety.org
The Shelter
Pet Project
http://theshelterpetproject.org
If you’re planning to add a pet to your family and are interested in
exploring the possibilities of adopting, rather than buying, consider
these two websites. The Humane
Society , a strong voice for animal protection, spearheads numerous
campaigns, including the advocacy of the shelter pet movement. The
site’s “Find an Animal” link offers advice on the care and
training of new pets and encourages individuals to sign an “Adoption
Pledge.” For additional material on the subject, visit The
Shelter Pet Project. Make sure your computer’s speakers are
on to fully benefit from (and enjoy) the website, as much of the
information is presented by talking dogs – yes, talking dogs. The site
will link you to local shelters, provide resources on adoption, and
answer questions about pets. It’s a whimsical website that’s full of
serious content!
