The Ad Council, Maddie's Fund, and the Humane Society of the United States have teamed up to collaborate on a very special project with a powerful message. Beginning Thursday, September 24 you will start to see national ads promoting and validating pet adoption from shelters and rescue groups. One of the prevalent messages of the ads is there is nothing wrong with the cats and dogs that end up in these facilities. Usually, they are surrendered for a variety of human circumstances. The hardworking individuals at shelters and rescue groups are mindful to place the right person with the right pet.

In this connection, please visit www.theshelterpetproject.org to discover more information about the joy of adopting an animal from a shelter or rescue group. You can even complete a profile about yourself in the Pet Personals with the ultimate goal of being matched to a potential  loving companion. You can also search adoptable pets at www.petfinder.com. Our Petfinder link is www.allenpark.petfinder.com.

The Allen Park Animal Shelter enthusiastically supports The Shelter Pet Project.  We are grateful to the Ad Council, Maddie's Fund, and the Humane Society of the United States for the time and energy they put into this project. This ad truly has the power to impact the lives of millions of animals in need of a loving, forever home. The Allen Park Animal Shelter stands ready to help you find your new furry best friend.
