This week, September 17 - 23, 2012 is
"Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet Week" at Petfinder. Petfinder's member shelters and rescue groups
have nominated their very special (and "less adoptable") pets who are
awaiting forever homes.
What makes a pet "less adoptable"?
Well, it could be that they are older or shy or have medical
needs. These pets can sometimes wait for
a forever home four times longer than the average pet. Some have even waited over two years!!!
Do you have room in your heart for one of these "less
adoptable" pets?
I will be sharing some of these "less adoptable"
pets with you ALL WEEK.
Today, I will
share a couple with you from my "neck of the woods" - Southeast
Florida. You can click their name to go
to their page on Petfinder!
Sigh...this first doggie doesn't even have a name.

Thank you for sharing such awesome "less adoptable" (pft!) dogs! I hope that PetFinder helps tons of pups find their perfect forever homes this week!
ReplyDeleteI hope they find forever homes for all of them too! Can you believe that the first doggie doesn't even have a name. It's so sad...they are such fine pups!
DeleteNo Name???? Oh, man, that is so sad. He/she is waaay to cute NOT to have a name. Thanks for puttin' up their pics. I hope someone can help these cute pups! I'll be keepin' good thoughts goin' to em'!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby
I hope so too, Ruby! It's so sad to not even have a name!
DeleteSo sad....we all deserve names and to be loved and cared for....what is wrong with this world?
ReplyDeleteI just don't know Rem. You are so right! Everyone deserves a name and to be loved. Thanks!
DeleteGosh, a dog should always have a name. I dub that dog "Pudding". So there.
ReplyDeleteThey are all just diamonds in the rough - hope someone sees them for the beautiful, loving dogs they are!
Pudding! I love it! I hope someone adopts them all. It is so sad to think they do not have a forever home.
DeleteHey Oz, Jet here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a noble cause. All of us at Casa Jet fit into the category: Koko was older, I was black and older, Puffy and Fluffy were older and abused, and JJ is older (though you would never know she's 6 ish with her energizer bunny batteries!)
Wow! You are all so special, Jet! And you all got a loving home...so there is hope for these poor pups!
DeleteAll pets should just be "adoptable." Our hope is that some day, the "less" label is no more.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Meowmans!
