Pets 911
Founded in 1998, Pets911.com is dedicated to decreasing the number of animals that are euthanized each year by leveraging platform technology and its toll-free, bilingual hotline (1-888-PETS-911) to connect healthy, adoptable pets with people who will provide lifelong, loving homes. Pets911.com also provides information necessary to instill responsible pet ownership and overcome the issue of animal homelessness.
Pets911 also provides the animal welfare community with tools they can use to promote themselves and their mission — at no charge. PETS911.com works with many of the nation’s largest animal welfare organizations including the Humane Society of the United States, American Humane Society, The Pet Savers Foundation, SPAY/USA, the Doris Day Animal Foundation, Alley Cat Allies and over 9,500 local shelters and rescue groups across the country to provide this valuable information to the public.
Pets911’s mission is to effect social change in this country by providing a free public service that will one day ensure an environment where all animals are valued companions and have lifetime, loving homes. This free network, which is a collaborative effort of all the animal rescue organizations and services across the country, is easily accessible through both a toll-free phone number and website, which promises easy access to all the local pet information necessary to instill responsible pet ownership and overcome the issue of animal homelessness.
Pets911 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. That is our mission. Please take a moment to look at our site. You will see that Pets911 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.
Pets911 consists of not only a Web site, but also a toll-free phone, hotline (1-888-PETS-911) that allows everyone to access the important, life-saving information we provide. This is why we consider ourselves a true public service. 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. We thank our partners, Animal Planet, Hewlett Packard, Intel and Symantec for making Pets911 possible.
Our media partners, AOL, Clear Channel, Cox Communications, Gannett, Animal Planet, and hundreds of other local newspaper, radio and television stations have allowed us to include our pet content on their Web sites – giving their community even further access to all of Pets911’s life saving content. This content 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 Pets911 provides. Even if a person does not have Internet access, the Pets911 toll free, bilingual hotline enables access to all of the same information by phone (1-888-PETS-911).
Pets911 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 - all for free. In our “Press Room”, we provide animal welfare groups with various celebrity based public service announcements. The animal welfare community can choose any PSA(s) and e-mail, call, or fax us and we will tag the back end of the PSA(s) with their organizations name and tagline. Celebrities such as Jay Mohr, Melanie Griffith, Bill Maher, Edie Falco, Wendie Malick, Stockard Channing and more have donated their time and talent because they understand that through the PETS 911 public service, they are able to help thousands of organizations nationwide.
