What pet rescues and shelters face
The pet breeding industry is thriving today and is one of the fastest-growing home markets. In the past five years, the number of pet breeders has increased by at least 20 percent. Breeding efforts are resulting in more and more people buying pets that later become unwanted. These unwanted pets end up in shelters and rescues. Unfortunately, many of these unwanted pets perish due to a lack of public interest in adoption. Pet rescues and pet shelters need to work on educating the public and increasing exposure to potential adopters
Benefits of a website
Pet rescues and pet shelters should not underestimate the power of an online presence. A simple and professional website will increase your rescue or shelter's exposure to potential pet adopters. A website doesn't need to be expensive, graphics-heavy, or fancy, a simple site will do as long as it is easily maintained and will encourage interaction between potential adopters and a pet rescue or shelter.

Pet Classifieds and Other Advertising Opportunities
You should use websites that offer free advertising for pet rescues and pet shelters. Some of these sites offer potential adopters the ability to search closely by zip code, therefore, qualifying your potential contacts. Online advertising and online classifieds are the first places many potential pet adopters look now.
Other opportunities
Creating various online profiles on social networking sites can also help you network with other shelters and rescues. If you have licensed or are affiliated with national rescue and shelter organizations, (ie you are a duly registered veterinarian who also owns and operates a shelter or rescue) make sure you include this in your profile. indicate. It can help you build your reputation. The Internet and other media need to be considered to help pet shelters and pet rescues optimize successful pet placement.
