• The Animal Rescue Site - The Animal Rescue Site's new Pet Search is an easy way for our users to connect with adoptable animals nationwide! We've worked hard to make finding the pet of your dreams a seamless and enjoyable experience, teaming with Petfinder.com to bring their massive database of adoptable pets into your home. The Animal Rescue Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need -- providing food for some of the 27 million unwanted animals given to shelters in the US every year.
