HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE   SAVE, Advocate,  Foster, Adopt.
Nobody can help everybody, but everybody can help somebody.

What is Pet Pardons?Pet Pardons is a facebook application that allows users to get involved in trying to save shelter dogs & cats on death row, in addition to promoting pets in no-kill shelters.

There are 2 main ways for users to get involved, Advocating & Posting

Advocating

In order to help a Pet Pardons dog or cat, the user can click the “Advocate” button on each pet's profile. The “Advocate” button will instantly share the pet on the user's facebook wall, allowing their friends to see the pet, & even share the link on their own wall. The more users who advocate & share each dog & cat, the better the chances of the pet being seen by someone who can rescue or adopt—thus granting the pet a “pardon!”

Posting

Anyone can post a pet to Pet Pardons, & it's very simple to do. You just need to gather some basic information about the pet you want to list, including: Name, Euthanasia date (if applicable), Kennel Number, Breed, Age, Shelter/Rescue Location, & Photo. Once you have this info, then just click here(link), & start your post. Once your pet is posted, the pet will be instantly listed on Pet Pardons, allowing other users to “Advocate” for the pet.

Goals of Pet Pardons

· To grant “pardons” to shelter pets that have no other hope, by finding foster or adoptive homes.
· To promote adoption from shelters & rescue groups, by showing these amazing shelter pets who need loving homes.
· To encourage the public to get more involved in saving the lives of shelter animals by advocating, fostering, transporting, donating, or adopting!
· To promote spay/neuter of all pets, by revealing what happens to shelter pets due to pet overpopulation.
· To educate the public about the heartbreaking reality of shelters in America.
· To reduce the number of pets killed in American shelters to zero.

How is Pet Pardons Funded?

Pet Pardons is privately funded by anonymous donors. Pet Pardons monthly budget is private, with 100% of all operating expenses being donated by the aforementioned donors. Pet Pardons is not a 501(c)3, nor does the site generate an income at present. Donations to Pet Pardons are not tax deductible. Pet Pardons does not benefit in any way whatsoever (financially or otherwise) from the listing of any pet or pets on this application.

How can I help pets at-risk on Pet Pardons?

The easiest way to help these pets is to go to each pet's profile & click the “Advocate” button at the top. This will allow the pet's picture & story to be posted to your facebook wall for your friends to see & share. Encourage your friends to share the link on their own wall, because the more people who see each pet, the better their chances finding the help they need!

Advocating is a simple & effective way to help these pets. However, we encourage every Pet Pardons user to get even more involved in the rescue of these pets. There are many ways to help:
· Offer to foster the animal until a forever home can be found.
· Offer to help transport the animal to the rescue group or new adoptive family.
· Offer to donate toward the pet's vet care or transport fee.
· Offer to adopt the dog or cat & provide them with the life they deserve!
