Press ReleasePetSquared.com Provides Lost Pets a Voice in American Humane's Every "Day is Tag Day™" CampaignLas Vegas, NV - March 29, 2006 - In an effort to spare millions of lost pets and their owners from the anxiety and heartache of possibly never being reunited, PetSquared.com, an online retailer of quality pet supplies, will join the American Humane Association on April 1, 2006, to support "Every Day is Tag Day" by giving away 1,000 of its BackHome Lost Pet Recovery Program pet ID tags to dog and cat owners for free. Pet owners can request up to 3 pet ID tags at http://lost.PetSquared.com/request. "Every Day is Tag Day" is a public awareness campaign that unites thousands of shelters, veterinary clinics, animal care agencies, and organizations interesting in assisting owners reunite with their lost pets, in an effort to help the public understand how important a pet ID tag or other form of identification is for ensuring that lost animals have a voice. An average of 8 to 12 million companion animals end up in shelters across the country each year, and without an ID tag to reunite them with their families, their prospects are dire, as 5 to 9 million of them will need to be euthanized. "Any time a stray animal enters a shelter without an ID tag or other form of identification, the chances are very slim that the pet will ever see its family again," says Marie Belew Wheatley, president and CEO of American Humane. "Without a pet ID tag, a lost pet can sit in the shelter for days while attempts are made to identify an owner." says Cheryl Alfred, PetSquared.com president. "Many pets also have special needs - allergies, special diets, physical disabilities, or medical conditions that might require daily medication or immediate attention. This information is essential for individuals or organizations temporarily caring for a lost pet. The BackHome Lost Pet Recovery Program makes this information available in seconds from any Internet connected computer."
