Tomorrow the Seattle Animal Shelter and Petfinder.com will host “Adopt-a-Less-Adoptable-Pet” Day in an effort to connect the thousands of overlooked homeless animals with potential pet owners.

Petfinder.com is the largest online database of homeless pets, however 95 percent of their members surveyed have noticed that it is exceedingly difficult to find homes for the adoptable pets they’ve posted to the site. And so Petfinder set aside Wednesday, August 12 to work toward finding homes for “hard-to-place” pets.

The shelter (located at 2061 15th Ave. W., one block south of  the Ballard Bridge) will feature the “less-adoptable-pets” for one week, starting tomorrow, through next Tuesday, August 18. All “less-adoptable-pets” who find a home during this time will have their adoption and microchip fees waived. For more information click here.

Every third Thursday of the month the shelter also houses its “Cool City Pets” event, which showcases small animals that also need homes. Small animals available for adoption include gerbils, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice and rats. This event will take place on Saturday, August 15, from 12-3pm. Click here for more information.
