Why are you only considering adopted or rescued pets?

As pet owners we respect anyone who has taken on and accepted the responsibility of owning a pet. However, adopted and rescued pets have a special place in our hearts. As the owner of two extraordinary adopted pets we can't understand why anyone would ever consider giving up these animals. Financial burdens, medical expenses, disabilities, abuse, or any number of other event leaves these animals vulnerable. And in our opinion, adopted and rescued pet owners accept the challenge to provide stability and care for these animals. Therefore, we have designed or program to honor the adopted or rescued pet, the owner, the pet organizations, and hopefully influence and encourage future pet owners to consider pet adoption or rescue as a pet companionship option.

Why do you verify my email address?

We verify your email address to verify that you are in fact the individual submitting the information. Once verified, we then forward the submitted pet's information to our team to review. This process helps avoid spamming our review team with submissions that are not valid or inappropriate. If an email address is not verified within three days, we delete the content for privacy and storage management.

How do you define a "adopted or rescued pet"?

An "adopted or rescued pet" is a pet that has been abandoned, is no longer with its original owner, regardless of reason, is a stray or homeless, and is now a permanent member of your family. If you are the original owner by way of adopting the pet from an animal rescue, shelter, or pound then you are also eligible to submit your special pet.

Under what circumstances would a submitted pet be declined?

The following is a short list of why a nominated rescue would be declined:

Do you accept sponsorships?

During the Beta and initial release we will not be accepting paid sponsorships on the individual "Adopted pet of the Day" profile pages, friend emails, or our "Adopted Pets of the Week" summary newsletter. Once we have established a viewership, we will then consider accepting paid sponsorships that are relevant to our readership. Money raised through paid sponsorships will then be distributed to pet adoption and rescue organizations.
