New! Pet Timestamps

As a result of feedback, research, and user testing, we’ve expanded this valuable update to shelter and rescue pet pages! Now, every pet on Adopt a Pet displays posted and updated timestamps, giving potential adopters information which increases adoption interest for both new and longtime pets. Learn more about the timestamp enhancement and research in our help center here:
