PETS 911 is becoming an answer for not only the public, but also the animal welfare community on how we in this country can all take part in saving those 5 million animals every year.
PETS 911 believes that if you consolidate all the adoption, fostering, lost and found, volunteer, shelter/clinic, and health and training information out there and give the public a single and easy place to find this information, education will substantially increase and euthanasia will decrease.
We are a for-profit company, because we are funded 100 percent by corporate America, making it possible to provide ALL of our information and services for FREE to both the animal welfare community and the public alike. And, at the same time, we are not competing with our shelter and rescue partners for donation dollars.
For the past five years, PETS 911 has partnered with many of the nation’s largest animal welfare organizations, such as the Humane Society of the United States, American Humane,The Pet Savers Foundation, SPAY/USA, the Doris Day Animal Foundation, Alley Cat Allies and over 9,500 local shelters and rescues across the country to provide this valuable information to the public. This includes a wealth of services devoted to saving homeless animals and ultimately being a part of the solution to ending pet overpopulation. More importantly, no one is excluded from any of the information PETS 911 provides.
PETS 911 not only provides the public with a valuable resource, we also provide the animal welfare community with tools they can use to promote themselves and their mission. We provide animal welfare groups with various celebrity based public service announcements.
Adopting A PetThere are many things to consider when thinking about the lifetime commitment of a pet. It is important that you take the time to evaluate your needs and the needs of the animal before making the decision to get a pet.
Corporate PartnersThis public and private sector partnership allows organizations to work together on enhancing the lives of pets across the country. Through both promotional and financial resources, private sector partners ensure that this service is free of charge.
Poison Control InformationIf your pet has swallowed anything you fear is poisonous, please call the ASPCA's National Animal Poison Control Center (NAPCC) to get 24-Hour Animal Poison Information for Veterinarians and Pet Owners.
Keep Your Cat Safe At HomeCats are the pets most likely to die prematurely from diseases, poisons, attacks by other animals, abuse by humans, or speeding vehicles. The reason is simple: Owners often don't realize that allowing their cat to roam outdoors can cause trouble.
Cat Health And MaintenanceWe want to do more than help you find a friend, we want you to be able to care for that cat or kitten once you get him home or any other cat in your family. Whether it's learning about common health problems, bathing, diet or even a vaccination schedule.
