DESCRIPTION:

Many factors can make a pet seem “less adoptable.” Superstition, fear, age, poor reputation, wounds, handicap, illness, and size are each factors that contribute. However, just because a pet is unique doesn’t mean he or she wouldn’t make an excellent pet.

99% of shelters and rescue groups in the Petfinder system have housed these harder-to-place pets. These “less-adoptable” pets wait for a home nearly four times longer than the average adoptable pet, often more than two years!

Nearly all less adoptable pets are euthanized in state-run facilities because they only have a few days to be adopted.

Which pets are the hardest to place?
28% of Senior Pets (Over the Age of 7)
21% of Pit Bull Classified Dogs
19% of Pets with Special Needs
19% of Adult Cats

What can you do? Adopt, foster, help find a home and open your heart. Visit your local Humane Society, shelter, or rescue mission, or search Petfinder.com to find your new best friend!

PetFinder created Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet Week in 2009, celebrating on the third full week of September each year. Today it is supported by shelters and animal lovers nationwide.
