Pet Adoption - Changing a Pet's Life

"Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever." (Karen Davidson)

PawsperousPets.com promotes the adoption of pets through humane societies, animal shelters, and pet rescue organizations. Animals often end up there through no fault of their own. Given love, patience, and a willingness to make an effort, we can help turn around the lives of homeless pets - pets who can be loyal and lovely companions if given a chance.

This site explores everything from adoption to pet care (with some lovely stories and tributes / memorials along the way, to honor those pets who have forever left paw prints on our hearts). Pets aren't for everyone... they are a life-long commitment that isn't always easy.

But most of us who have chosen to share life's journey with a pet would gladly do it again. It truly is an enriching experience! Adopt a homeless pet and you'll be making both their life and yours much more "pawsperous" - rich in love & laughter, the things that really matter!
