'Fountain' and Other Pets Need Forever Homes

At the height of World War II, a group of Pittsburgh citizens concerned for the well-being of soldiers' pets when they left to serve in the war founded Animal Friends.

That was 1943. So, to celebrate the 70th anniversary, all adoption donations for animals 6 months and older are being reduced to $19.43 through July 31.

So this is the purr-fect time to considering adopting Fountain, a beautiful cat looking for a forever home, and other pets at Animal Friends, 562 Camp Horne Rd. in Ohio Township.

To see Fountain's story, visit Animal Friends' blog on Sewickley Patch.

Also check out the story about Jumpin' JohnnyJack Flash, who is at Angel Ridge Animal Rescue in Washington County, on Canon-McMillan Patch.

Do you work with a shelter or rescue group? Blogging on Patch about your pets up for adoption is easy and a quick way to reach more potential families.

Each weekend, Patch would like to feature these blogs (along with photos) in a story that will run on our 14 Western PA Patch sites. To get started, contact Zandy Dudiak, community editor, at zandy.dudiak@patch.com for details.
