Plea by Wayne Pacelle, President & CEO of HSUS

I tried this and it is so cute and easy to find just the right match, I hope you all use it.
Do you ever wonder what happens to a cat whose owners go through a nasty breakup over an affair? Or a dog whose cowardly owner leaves him on the side of the road? It's a sad fact, but these pets end up at animal shelters through no fault of their own.
We can feel sad for the dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and even guinea pigs in shelters, or we can take action and spread the word that shelter animals make great pets. Today we're proud to announce the launch of an unprecedented advertising campaign aimed at doing just that:
The Shelter Pet Project.
Beginning today, several humorous, meaningful Public Service Announcements will be hitting the airwaves across the country. Why wait? You can watch the commercials now and even find a shelter pet of your own at The Shelter Pet Project's website.
The Shelter Pet Project, a collaborative effort by The Humane Society of the United States, Maddie's Fund, and the Ad Council, in partnership with the entire animal welfare community, is designed to encourage pet lovers to make shelters their first choice when they decide they want to add another pet to their family.
I encourage you to watch these humorous commercials at the Shelter Pet Project website, then search for adoptable pets near you. Test out the Adopt-A-Gram, an interactive e-card that you can send to friends and family to encourage them to adopt a pet, too!
Thank you for all you do for animals.
Sincerely,Wayne PacellePresident & CEO The Humane Society of the United States
P.S. When you're ready to add a new companion to your life, will you adopt a homeless pet?
