“I wish I could help them all.”

Do you feel that way as you browse the pet lists on Petfinder.com? You're not alone. It's the most common sentiment expressed by the thousands of visitors who email us. The good news is that most of them go on to find the pet of their dreams--that perfect companion--and to provide him or her a "forever home".

But what about the pets left behind--those equally deserving companions who for some reason just weren’t a good lifestyle match?

“Our visitors have made it clear they want to help. We felt a responsibility to find a way to make it easy for them.”

-- Betsy Saul
Founder, Petfinder.com, and
President, The Petfinder.com
Foundation

We've got good news for them, and you can help. Petfinder.com and the Petfinder.com Foundation are excited to offer a feature that allows you to sponsor a homeless pet that has touched your heart, but whom, for some reason, you can't adopt at this time.

It costs an average of $180 to provide care for a pet while s/he waits for a home. Because it costs less to euthanize pets than it does to care for them, under-funded shelters are often forced to make hard decisions affecting good pets. You can help change this.
