The AnimalShelter.org web site was created in an effort to place homeless animals throughout the United States. These animals are often located in one of thousands of animal shelters and rescue’s throughout the Country which offer a temporary placement while a loving family is found. At the AnimalShelter.org we provide a database of animals which will allow you to search for your next pet based on animal type, breed, size, gender and location. You can also search through our growing directory which now includes, animal shelters, lost, found or adoptable pets, pet meds, dog parks, and hundreds of frequently asked questions. If you would like to make a gift or support our cause please purchase a ribbon from our animal shelter support page. Remember adopting a pet is saving a life.

Daily Pet Tips & Info...

Agreeing on your new dog

Be sure your entire household is on the same page before going out and looking for a dog. Does everyone agree on the Great Dane, or is there someone who wants a Chihuahua? Have a talk with each of your family members about their expectations, desires and concerns. Who is going to take care of the dog, is there a particular type of dog that individuals want, and does everyone want a dog? You can ask every family member to come up with a list of their hopes and concerns, and they can share it with the rest of the family. Taking care of everyone’s concerns and making sure that everyone is in agreement will eliminate unnecessary frustration when the new dog comes home.
