The latest entry on my technological almost-too-good-to-be-true list is a service that links would be pet-adopters with dogs and cats desperately in need of a home like theirs. Check out www.1-800-save-a-pet.com.
You sign up to receive information about a specific kind of adoptable pet, say a Labrador Retriever. You also input your zip code on the assumption that you’d rather travel 7 miles to pick up little Fido than, say seventy-seven. After that, it’s simple. You receive emails with the name and description of adorable little guys and gals that very much need your love and stability.
Oh, did I forget to mention the love and stability part? You fill out a little application before you actually get your paw on a new foursome of paws, all in the interest of making sure little Fido doesn’t end up in the pound all over again.
This morning I received news of Desi and Boston, two little Labbies near me that need a place to call home. Alas, we’re full up. But hopefully somebody out there has room in hearth and heart for one or both of these little guys.
What a great service!
