Pet Finder

NEW REALITY SHOW “PETFINDER” CASTS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS WHO ARE SEEKING TO ADOPT ANY TYPE OF PET

Casting has begun for a new Animal Planet series called “Petfinder” that aims at placing the right pet with those searching for an addition to their family. Many people yearn to adopt an animal, but are uncertain about finding the right breed, size or kind that will mesh with their lifestyle. “Petfinder” experts will lend their proficiency to make for the perfect blend between humans and new best friends.

“Petfinder” will showcase participants’ pet search from the very beginning. Using their experts in the field, people will be guided throughout the entire process of determining what type of pet is right for them. All factors will be considered in the process; such as daily responsibilities, activity levels of both animals and of the participants, and preparation for the new pet. Dogs and cats placed in new homes will be rescued from local animal shelters and humane organizations. “Petfinder” experts will secure the adoption and cover all pet-related costs.

“Petfinder” is the first show to focus on match-making between humans and pets. Animal Planet strives to educate viewers on the importance of making the right pet match. Hundreds of thousands of unwanted pets end up in animal shelters and facilities across the country every year. Many pet lovers have the best intentions when welcoming a new pet into their home, but have not fully researched their pet’s breed. In the City of Los Angeles, over 30% of animals in shelters are relinquished from the public. The top reasons as to why animals are turned in are related to lifestyle and behavior.

Residents from greater Los Angeles can call the casting hotline at 310-727-3387, or send a story via email to petfindercasting@yahoo.com. The casting department is looking for everyday people who are seeking to adopt an animal of any kind.
