We came across a great feature on Martha Stewart's pet friendly section today (which, by the way, we cannot get enough of!). It's an interactive search engine to help users find pets to adopt in their area.
A quick search for dogs in the Austin area (just looking! I promise!) returned several at Austin's Town Lake Animal Shelter. Martha Stewart's site even pulls up the details on the pets when you click on their names -- the pet's likes and dislikes, as well as name, breed and approximate age.
Check out this sweet old puppy we found. Hm...maybe I'm not "just looking" after all!
29 July 2009 - Update: We heard from Mark Ganem in the comments below, who is the Editor of Martha Stewart's Pets section. He wanted to make sure our readers knew that this adoption feature was brought to Martha Stewart's site through a valuable partnership with AdoptAPet.com. It's great to see these two companies working together - for the good of our four-legged friends!
PETFINDER.COM is already there way before Martha
Thanks for the wonderful write-up! I should point out that this service is in collaboration with AdoptAPet.com, who has been an amazing partner.

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often. Betty
