Whiskers Project is joining Petfinder.com to celebrate Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet Week September 17 – 23. The theme, “That’s What Makes Me Special” urges people to adopt those pets who suffer from discrimination. Reasons include breed prejudice, ageism and special needs. We are recognizing Josh as our featured Less-Adoptable-Pet. Josh is a lovable older adult male. He is very sociable and will respond to you every time you talk to him. Sadly he was abandoned outside a local vets office. Petfinder.com launched its first Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet campaign in 2009 after recognizing that approximately 95 percent of shelters and rescue groups have a harder time finding homes for certain pets. “Every day, families walk into shelters or visit Petfinder.com and, perhaps unconsciously, bypass some adoptable pets simply because of the way they look, their age, or because they have a condition such as blindness or deafness,” said Betsy Banks Saul, the co-founder of Petfinder.com.
