 The RSPCA launches its Pet Adoption Week – PAW today. A staggering 9,000 animals in the RSPCA's care are hoping for new homes during Pet Adoption Week which runs from Saturday 20 to Sunday 28 October 2007. - This follows our special 3 part report highlighting the UK’s growing interest in designer pets, where we outlined how people’s craving for designer lives has led to the increase in demand for designer pets. My Pet Friends strongly supports initiatives to re-home unwanted pets and always urges its readers to consider adopting a rescued pet or a pet that needs re-homing first when considering a new pet. In the modern West, that was frequently labeled the throw-away culture, the increasing interest in recycling may assist in ensuring that these pets – these lives – do not go to waste. - During PAW, would-be pet owners are encouraged to visit their nearest RSPCA animal centre or branch where staff can help match them to their perfect pet. - Sounds like they’re offering a pet and owner match-making / dating service – and in a sense that’s exactly what they’re doing. The RSPCA reports that new research shows that people look for the same qualities in a pet as they do in a partner. According to a light-hearted poll, most people consider personality to be the most important characteristic when looking for a pet; they also want their pet to be good company, loyal, intelligent and affectionate. - Surprisingly, the survey shows that people rate long-term companionship more highly in a pet than in a partner! However, the RSPCA notes that partnerships between people and their pets are not always successful, as people can put their needs first. - For an information pack about adopting an animal from the RSPCA, call the dedicated PAW phone line on: 0300 123 8484 or visit: www.rspca.org.uk/petadoptionweek - If you’re looking for love and want to meet a pet owner who has similar interests to you, chat away on the My Pet Friends Pet Forums and hopefully you’ll find that dream partner too… -  Add as favourites (0) |  Quote this article on your site | Views: 851
