It's been a while...

Hey Animal Files People...
It's been a while since I've posted.  Too long, and I apologize for that.  I plan on getting active with posting again, and am happy to answer questions about animal behavior, urban wildlife, humane laws, and any other animal related question you may have.  Bring it on!

To begin, I want to thank all my readers who have adopted pets from shelters and rescues.  I get dozens of inquiries from readers every day asking me where they can adopt specific pets and I am always happy to refer folks to all the great rescues and rescuers and shelters that are looking for families for their homeless pets.  But to make things easier, I'm going to make a generic post here.  If you want to adopt a pet, there are two really good resources to use.  Just plug in all your parameters (your area and distance you are willing to travel, type of pet you want, gender, if that matters, etc.).  Here they are:
www.petfinder.com or http://www.adoptapet.com/
These two sites will get you squared away with the pet of your dreams.  Of course, always check your local shelters too, because they get new pets in daily and there is bound to be a little furry kid there who will tug at your heart strings.

Happy New Year Everyone!
:) Marie
