a new shelter on Petfinder
Hi everyone,
Prince Albert, Saskatchewan SPCA has just launched their Petfinder page. This little shelter has really been struggling to help their animals so please pass on their link to anyone who might know someone within 50 miles of Prince Albert.
Saskatchewan only has 3 Petfinder members compared to BC's 56 members, so please help introduce Saskatchewan to the pets on Petfinder. It would be great if we could get hundreds of people checking out the site. Maybe a dozen of those people would be able to open their homes to a desperate pet. You can't imagine how thrilled everyone there would be about that.

I just want to add my experience with Petfinder. I rescued 16 piggies from a high kill shelter in October 2003. I placed ads in the paper and was having some questionable people respond to them. (Example: "I don't care what color, sex, age, etc. the piggies are, just so they are fairly small." "I want all the pregnant females you have." "I want to buy all of them to open my own pet store," etc.) I finally decided to sign up at Petfinder and I have been so lucky. Within a couple of days I found a WONDERFUL home for 4 of the piggies, and then 2 other homes for 2 other pairs very shortly after that. I have met the most wonderful, kind people who are specifically looking for a rescued pet. I have had people drive an hour or two to adopt a rescued piggy from me when they could have purchased one at a petstore 5 minutes away. The adopters I've found through Petfinder have been so amazing... each time I think I won't find another home as good as the last one, another person responds.
Of course, not everyone that looks for a pet at Petfinder is perfect, or even halfway decent. But it has helped me to find very loving homes for my piggies that I don't think I would have found otherwise.

I had no idea there was a rescue near my house until I checked out petfinder a little over a month ago, I'm headed up to Knoxville tomorrow to pick up my new pair!
