Coming Soon: New Search Filters

You asked for it, we are adding it: We’ll soon be beta testing adding “Good w/” and “housetrained” as search filters for dogs and cats! This will help adopters find pets who match their home faster, and increase the odds of them inquiring about your pets. If you haven’t been using those fields, now’s a great time to start, or edit your existing pets to add them. As always, you can leave the option as unknown (– or unchecked), and those pets will be seen by potential adopters that don’t use the filters.

Try a search at www.adoptapet.com to test our existing filters, and get ready for the new ones to launch soon!
