East Meadow, NY (PRWEB) June 30, 2010
Michael Ayalon, CEO of Petwebdesigner.com, has been given the honor of “Animal Hero” by the ASPCA, the first recipient of the award. The ASPCA felt that Michael Ayalon was making a difference in the lives of animals through a new website he developed called AnimalRoulette.com, which broadens the reach of shelters beyond their local communities and allow potential adopters to see available pets through a live video website.

“It is such a huge honor to get the Animal Hero award from an organization as distinguished as the ASPCA,” Michael Ayalon said. “Since 1866, the ASPCA has held firm in its mission to prevent cruelty to animals throughout the United States. Their steadfast commitment to protecting animals mirrors my commitment to fixing the problems associated with pet adoptions in the United States. By using live video to introduce shelter animals to people that are interested in adopting right in the comfort of their own home, we open up a whole new audience that wouldn’t normally consider adoption. They also get to see breeds that might not get lots of attention at a shelter, but through video these dogs can get the attention they deserve. The shelter can qualify those looking to adopt through the video chat in order to save time and resources. I hope that my mission to double pet adoptions for each shelter in the United States will be fulfilled within the first year of implementing Animal Roulette, and I truly believe it’s possible for any shelter that uses it.”
The site’s first real-time, online adoption event will be held on July 17, 2010, from 1 PM – 4 PM EST, at Kent Animal Shelter on Long Island, New York. People interested in adopting a pet should visit http://www.AnimalRoulette.com on July 17 to see pets that are currently available for adoption at Kent. People visiting the site during the online event should have a web cam installed on their computer so they can take part in the live video and audio chat exchange. Each year, Kent helps nearly 700 animals find permanent forever homes. With AnimalRoulette.com, the shelter has the ability to dramatically increase its adoption numbers and place even more homeless pets with loving families.
