It’s a simple action that can have a huge impact. Lots of celebrities have been catching on! Kevin Nealon, Alyssa Milano, Denise Richards, Kristin Chenoweth, and many other celebrities have taken up the cause and tweeted links to their favorite shelter pets listed on Adopt-a-Pet.com.

The celebrities create an avalanche of compassion!

Our friends at Threadbanger, a really cool site for all you DIYers out there, just released an awesome video blog about the beauty of adopting a pet. AND, we’re proud to say, Adopt-a-Pet.com got a nice little mention. Thanks for the shout-out, Threadbanger!
Earlier this week Pia Salk was invited to show off some local pets on Mike and Juliet. Pia also discussed a new feature on our website we are calling Social Petworking. Find out what happened on the show, and what Social Petworking is all about.
Social Petworking is all about sharing the idea of adopting pets with your current friends on Twitter, Facebook and other social applications. Now once you find a pet in need on AdoptaPet.com simply hover over the button on the top right of the page description labeled “SHARE.” There you can send the pet page to any of your friends. This is an awesome, and kind way of creating awareness of pets in need with your family an friends.
Pia discusses more about the Social Petworking on the show.
If you didn’t catch the Dog Show on Martha Stewart, Adopt-A-Pet’s Pia Salk spoke about pet adoption with Martha joined by a well behaved pet in need named Benjamin.
Pia discussed with Martha the reality of pet over population, mentioned a few tips about adoption, and showed viewers how to use adopt-a-pet.com. The entire clip can be found over at Martha Stewart’s website. You’ll also find a number of other videos from the Dog show, along with several fun do-it-yourself pet projects.
Exciting news! If all goes as planned, Adopt-a-Pet.com will be featured on the Martha Stewart Show next Wednesday, March 18th! We’re heading to NY to join our friends from Purina on a show entirely dedicated to all things pet.
Tune in to see Pia Salk talking about the beauty of pet adoption. She’ll even introduce a couple of adorable dogs needing homes. We bet they won’t be homeless for long after they’re featured on national TV. We hope that a lot of people from all over the country will be inspired to adopt a pet from their local shelter or rescue group and will learn that Adopt-a-Pet.com is a great resource to assist in their quest for a perfect match.
This is a very exciting time for us–thanks to the trailblazing Pia Salk, our spokesperson and psychologist extraordinaire who specializes in the human-animal bond, Shepard Fairey has created this amazing image to promote pet adoption! This is huge–Shepard Fairey was recently named Icon-Maker of the Year by Time Magazine. His “Obey” clothing line is the biggest thing out there right now, second only to his Obama “Hope” images you see everywhere. He also designed the official inauguration poster–pretty prestigious stuff for a street artist!
Check out MuttsLikeMe.com. We’ll be selling 400 limited-edition signed/numbered prints, t-shirts, stickers, and more…items will be going very fast (Fairey print runs usually sell out in a matter of minutes), so make sure you sign up to be alerted by email when the sale begins. You can also download the image in all kinds of sizes and formats. Please post it everywhere you can–it’s time to get the message out that adoption is not only the most responsible option, but it’s cool, too!
Thanks for stopping by! We are happy to provide you with up to date information on pet health,
training and adoption. We don't mind being barked at from time to time, so if you have any questions, suggestions or comments about what you would like
to see on this blog please leave a comment or contact us by e-mail.
