365DAA Day 34: Petfinder
Over the past year, we have had the pleasure of meeting a huge amount of people who have made a big impact on the animal world. Jane Harrell of the renowned Petfinder happens to be one of those people. She got into the animal welfare world and Petfinder in an interesting way. I for one am very thankful to Toby – and, of course, Petfinder for all the amazing work they have done.

Interesting post on PetFinder. I too is an animal lover!
PetFinder is a wonderful organization that can surely help many animals that are abandoned. People who love pets or animals should support this organization.
