PresidentialPoochPardon.com- 6,500 Animal Shelters Join National Signature Campaign to Support Obama Adopting a Dog at a Shelter to "Pardon a Pooch"
World's largest nonprofit pet adoption website (PresidentialPoochPardon.com
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 13, 2008 -- Adopt-a-Pet.com, the nation's largest non-profit pet adoption website, is spearheading a national campaign and website called "www.PresidentialPoochPardon.com". Using a Barack Obama-themed campaign website and messages such as "Yes We Can ADOPT", animal shelters around the country are gathering signatures of a letter to be delivered to the White House in support of the President-Elect adopting a shelter puppy. The website already had gathered over 5,000 signatures in just its first few hours.
In his first press conference, President-Elect Barack Obama stated his interest in adopting a shelter dog, but expressed that his daughter Malia is allergic to dogs and needs a hypoallergenic breed. Obama was concerned that this was in conflict with his desire to adopt a dog from a shelter. "Many pets in shelters across the nation are hypoallergenic purebreds and mixed breeds", says David Meyer, President of Adopt-a-Pet.com. "Common hypoallergenic breeds include Poodles, Schnauzers, certain Terriers, and mixes of those and many other breeds as well. There is no conflict at all between needing a hypoallergenic dog and adopting from a shelter."
Obama's interest in adopting a dog has spawned an outpouring of support in the animal welfare community and an avalanche of interest across the country and the world. "Searches for adoptable pets have increased sharply in the last week on our national pet-adoption website." adds Meyer. "Certainly if the President-Elect realizes that he can easily adopt the dog he needs from a shelter, he will inspire the whole nation to do the same, and will help get the word out about the millions of pets in shelters who do not get adopted each year." Meyer added with a smile, "Whether you were a 'Bark' Obama or a 'McCainine' supporter, everybody can support shelter pet adoption".
Adopt A Pet is working with its 6,500 listed shelters to get as many signatures as possible in the next days and weeks to impress upon Obama the support of his adopting a dog or adopting a puppy from an animal shelter, humane society, SPCA or pet rescue group.
Adopt A Pet is the world's largest nonprofit pet adoption web service, helping over 6,500 animal shelters and pet rescue organizations find homes for pets by displaying photos and descriptions of adoptable pets to over 1.5 million people a month seeking to adopt a dog or adopt a cat.
