A pet site we like...I have to recommend PETFINDER.COM  as a great place to find yourself a quality pre-owned pet!  Not only can you search shelters and rescue groups in your

 area, there are classified ads that people place as well, listing pets that need homes (and lost or found animals too). Some of these classifieds can offer you a little more information about a pet., since it's often someone who must find a home for their animal and wants to be sure it goes to a good home.  Of course, the directory of rescue groups in every area or state is a terrific resource -we know, as we found several of our "family members"  there! :) Have a great day....Andrea
