If you, or someone you know is looking for a new “Forever Best Friend”, please consider adopting a shelter animal instead of buying one in a store. You may be saving a loving creature from euthanasia. (The number of animals that will be euthanized this year is estimated to be about 1.5 million!)

One way to search for your Forever Best Friend is to use The Shelter Pet Project website:

     https://theshelterpetproject.org/pet-search/

When I entered my zip code to perform a local search for dogs, it came up with over 500 results!!  The purpose of The Shelter Pet Project is to attempt to make shelters the first place potential adopters turn when looking to get a new pet, ensuring that all healthy and treatable pets find loving homes. Being able to search through this many pictures makes the process easy to find and fall in love with your potential Forever Best Friend.

Chipotle, the dog we rescued in 2014, and the inspiration for my upcoming Music Video Promotion to help raise funds and awareness for Animal Rescue causes, would like us to help his shelter buddies find their Forever Homes.  He is asking us to please spread the word.  (And he wouldn’t mind a cookie either)
