About Us... Finding homes for homeless pets is what we do!

We're just pet lovers trying to make a difference...

Welcome to Adopt-a-Pet.com! Thanks for stopping by!

Adopt-a-Pet.com (formerly 1-800-Save-A-Pet.com) is North America's largest non-profit pet adoption website. We help over 12,000 animal shelters, humane societies, SPCAs, pet rescue groups, and pet adoption agencies advertise their homeless pets to millions of adopters a month, for free. We're all about getting homeless pets into homes. We use the power of TV, the Internet, and a toll-free phone number to connect adopters with shelter pets and help pets go from alone to adopted. We're working to help the good people at shelters and rescue groups find homes for their pets. But we don't stop there.

We also provide useful and informative information on the human/companion animal relationship to help keep pets healthy and permanently in their loving homes. Our blog has articles, and our YouTube channel has useful pet training as well as entertaining videos, all produced by our expert staff of professionals in animal training and behavior, as well as human psychology.

Our pet-saving team executives include:
Abbie Moore, Executive Director
Dr. Pia Salk, Spokesperson
Dana Puglisi, Director of Marketing
Jennifer Jacobsen, Director of Animal Shelter Outreach
Laurie Wisneski, Director of Adoption Services
Jeff Howard, Director of Inernet Marketing
Liz Cava, Shelter Outreach Assistant

And our board members and co-founders,
David Meyer, President
Amy Luwis, Vice President
Steve Abbey, Secretary.

Our small staff answered the call to volunteer in the massive effort to save pets stranded in and around New Orleans by hurricane Katrina and the flooding that followed, and we co-led the entire rescue effort for months. Check out our hurricane Katrina blog.

Purina

For the past 75 years, Purina has used its knowledge and expertise to give pet owners the healthy pet food, products, tools and advice they need to help enrich their pets' lives. Purina, through Pets for People, offers programs that enrich the lives of pets and the people who love them as well, partnering with animal welfare organizations throughout the year on various special programs, including:

Pets for Seniors
Purina partners with nearly 200 shelters nationwide to provide senior citizens with reduced cost pet adoptions. Participating humane shelters are reimbursed $50 for every senior adoption to help defray the costs of spaying or neutering‚ vaccinations‚ and other fees.

Give A Bowl
Purina® Pets for People™ is helping pet families and animal welfare organizations across the country with the Give a Bowl™ program. Now, pet families can "give a bowl" of Purina® brand pet food to both their new four-legged friend and the animal welfare organization that helped save their pet's life.

Rally to Rescue™
Rally to Rescue is a partnership between Purina® Pro Plan® and select pet rescue organizations across the country. The program
raises funds and awareness for pet rescue.
