Celebrities Draw Attention to Shelter Pets

Are you on Twitter? If so, you can join in on the “TwitterACritter” campaign that celebrities like Kevin Nealon, Alyssa Milano, Denise Richards, Kristin Chenoweth, and others are already activity promoting. Here at DogTipper.com, we’re selecting a pet and tweeting about them now every day on our DogTipper Twitter account!

Launched by Adopt-a-Pet.com, North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption web service, the campaign works to draw attention to the many great adoptable pets in shelters, ones desperately waiting for a new home.

How You Can Join In: Go to www.TwitterACritter.com where you can select one of the 130,000 homeless dogs, cats, and other pets listed on Adopt-a-Pet.com and tweet a link to that pet’s information. That’s it! You’ll spread the word about the many shelter pets available. It’s a great way to help shelter dogs and cats without spending any money, just a little of your time.

“TwitterACritter is a fun, easy way for people to actively save the life of a shelter pet, even if they can’t adopt one themselves or afford to donate,” says Abbie Moore, executive director of Adopt-a-Pet.com. “Homeless pets are powerless to promote themselves to potential adopters, so it’s up to those of us who love animals to lend a hand, and a set of thumbs, and tweet about them. In these difficult economic times, when so many pets are being relinquished to shelters, they need our help more than ever.”
