Mentor’s Pet Harbor has joined the online fray.
The animal wefare organization has recently become part of the Petfinder.com community, listing its homeless pets on the oldest and largest database of adoptable animals on the Internet.
The site, which currently has over 324,700 homeless pets listed, includes posts from more than 13,500 animal welfare organizations in the U.S., Canada and other countries, according to Petfinder.com.
“A potential adopter enters search criteria for the kind of pet he or she wants and a list is returned that ranks the pets in proximity to the Zip code entered,” according to the site. “Adoptions are handled by the animal placement group where the pet is housed and each group has its own policies.”
Pet Harbor pets may be viewed at www.petfinder.com/shelters/OH952.html.
