The help a pet Foundation is an effective way to show your compassion for homeless animals. By keeping our expenses low (less than 5% in 2007), we are able to distribute a significant percentage of funds raised directly to animal shelters and foster groups, large and small, in rural and urban communities across North America. We think this is the best way to recognize and support their hard work in finding homes for the animals entrusted to their care. By supporting the Petfinder.com Foundation, you are helping more than one animal organization in more than one community.
