This is going to be the first of many *Purrs and Pants* blogs. Once a week, with these blogs, I will be posting a few cats and dogs of the week to consider for adoption. All featured pets will be available at PetFinder.com. Since I live in Illinois, the featured pets will be from shelters near where I live, but you can search for pets near you.
My favorite site for finding rescue animals is PetFinder.com. This is where I found our cat Pyrrha, our first rescue. I favor this site over others because their site is easy to use, you can almost always find what you’re looking for (cat, dog, bird, specific breeds, etc.), and they do not promote kill shelters and puppy mills. They not only post different animals available for adoption, but they also have different resources available regarding pets. Even if you do not choose to get your pet from a rescue shelter, be cautious of where you do purchase your pets. Make sure that you either know the person you are getting your pets from or they are registered breeders. The reason I caution you is because one of my friends purchased a little Teacup Chihuahua from Petland only to have the puppy pass away a few days after she brought it home. The dog was severely malnourished. I have heard other people complain of the same thing happening to them after purchasing pets from this store. Petland has had lawsuits against them for marketing puppy mill puppies to customers. I do not know if this still goes on at their stores, I just wanted people to be aware that this goes on, even at pet stores that you think you can trust. On to the featured animals! This week, all featured animals are special needs and of all ages.
