The facts and figures on pet homelessness are truly startling. The Petfinder Foundation and Orvis are working together to spread awareness on the current need for loving homes for homeless pets. The Petfinder Foundation is a public charity working to end the euthanasia of adoptable pets by aiding shelters and rescues across North America.
Orvis is a family-owned retailer based out of Vermont that has a deep love for the canine community (and really, animals of all variety!). It partners with organizations like the Petfinder Foundation to better the lives of pets everywhere.
This infographic makes a strong case for first time owners as well as people that are looking for specific, pure-breed pets to start their search at shelters and rescues rather than commercial breeders or pet stores.
Remember: Adopt, Don’t Shop!
