KWCH Launches Campaign with Pets 911 to Promote Lost/Adoptable Pets
Filed under: Pets 911, Press Releases - August 10, 2007
Wichita, KS – Pets 911 announced today that it will partner with Wichita, KS CBS affiliate KWCH to provide a zip-code based search of adoptable pets and lost and found listings for the entire state of Kansas. As part of the partnership, KWCH will air public service announcements sending viewers to the pet search page (http://kwch.com/Global/category.asp?C=29878&nav=menu486_7_17). This page is part of a new pet section on the KWCH website. The new section will launch on August 17, 2007.
Pets 911 already features over 200 shelters in the state of Kansas in its search database, with information on lost and adoptable pets updated by shelter coordinators. However, with the expected increase in traffic from this upcoming promotion, Pets 911 is requesting that all Kansas shelters maintain updated information on their pets.
“Pets 911 is excited to launch this campaign with KWCH and inform the entire state of Kansas about lost and adoptable pets,” said Pets 911 CEO Jeffrey Rassás. “Working with the Kansas animal shelters, our goal is to reunite lost pets with their families and find a good home for all adoptable pets.”
If you work with a shelter and would like to update your shelter’s records and animals currently available for adoption on Pets 911, please visit http://pets911.com and login using the “Shelter/Vet Login button.” Pets 911 accepts text descriptions, photos and videos of animals available for adoption.
