Homeless pets are looking for one thing: love. They do not care if it is from someone young, old, short or tall. All they need is to be loved and they will love unconditionally in return. However, all too often, potential adopters are looking for much more than just a loyal companion. They arrive at shelters or rescue groups in search of pets of a particular age, size, breed or color, leaving many other homeless animals with little hope of finding a forever home.
That is where Petfinder.com comes in.
Today, Wednesday, August 12, marks the first-ever Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet Day, which Petfinder.com designated to heighten awareness about this issue, which few people outside of the animal welfare industry even know exist. While it is common knowledge that all homeless animals are in need, not everyone realizes that some pets historically and inherently have more difficulty getting adopted than others.
