Craig and Amy began searching for a pet in March 2011. They wanted a young puppy that was either a Lab or Blue Heeler, with no preference on gender. After searching classified ads and online services with little success, they heard about Pets in Humane Society through a recommendation. At the shelter, they met a 12-week old female Black Lab/German Shepherd mix puppy and immediately filled out the adoption paperwork. Six months later when checked on, the family reported that things were going well with their new pet.

March of 2011.

4. Searching for a pet…
 When Craig and Amy started searching for a pet, they
knew a few very basic things they were looking for..
 Young puppy (from the age 8-12 weeks)
 Either Lab or Blue Heeler
 No specific gender was preferred.

5. Where do you look??
 These pet hunters checked in classified ads, online pet
finder services, and local pet stores.
 Uneducated about adoptions, they were unaware of
even where to begin.
 Searching through classified ads and online pet finder
services was a very tedious process for them, with
search results often not even in the right location.

6. Pets in Humane Society to help…
 Craig and Amy heard about Pets in Humane Society
through a word-of-mouth recommendation.
 They searched for our company online, and found our
interactive website to begin the real search.
 After touring the website, they decided to come in for a
visit to meet some of the pets!

see how things were going…….and things are going
pretty good.
