Recently, we held our very first ever Happy Beginnings cover model search. Thousands of heartwarming and smile-inspiring photos poured in from awesome pet adopters just like you who were out to prove that shelter pets are loving, warm, and soulful beings. And since a picture says 1,000 words, we think there may be no better way to get the message across! So, we’re doing it again!

What if that photo – YOUR photo of YOUR pet – inspired other people to adopt and save the life of a shelter pet? We’re searching for Adopt-a-Pet.com’s next Facebook “cover pet” photo – and it could be of your best friend. We’ll choose one photo that captures the essence of pet adoption – the happiness, the joy, the smiles, laughter, and love – to be featured as our cover pet on Facebook and featured on our blog.
Here’s how your photo can be chosen:

Through the partnership with Adopt-a-Pet.com, PetMatch expands its database to include more than 200,000 pets from more than 14,000 shelters across the country.
“At this moment, hundreds of thousands of animals sit in shelters waiting to be adopted into their forever homes.
