Liberty Humane Society Is Partying For Petfinder.com & The 2012 Calendar Competition Begins Now

Online, June 30, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Liberty Humane Society is helping celebrate Petfinder.com's 15th birthday by holding an adoption birthday party from 11:00am to 4:00pm, Saturday July 16, 2011 at the shelter, 235 Jersey City Blvd, Jersey City, NJ. Animal welfare organizations throughout North America and beyond will be participating in this birthday celebration with a nationwide goal of facilitating 15,000 adoptions during the weekend of July 15-17. Our goal at LHS is to place 15 cats and dogs in permanent homes so, for this weekend only, we're drastically reducing the adoption fees on our most eligible animals.

Already spayed and neutered animals will have a special promotional pricing of $15 for cats and $50 for dogs. If you cannot adopt a pet right now, but want to give us another king of birthday gift, consider chipping in to underwrite the cost of the discounted promotions like these so that more animals can find homes:

Petfinder, the largest and most successful online venue for adoptable pets, was launched in early 1996 and has facilitated an estimated 17 million adoptions. The site is free to both visitors and the more than 13,000 animal welfare groups that post their pets there.
