Often the process involved in finding a pet to adopt, searching for a lost pet, or trying to reunite a lost pet with its' guardian becomes an odyssey. A quick look at your local newspaper classifieds section serves as an example. Some communities have a few hundred homeless pets, other communities have thousands. If you search the phone book for animal shelters, sometimes as few as ten percent of a communities' shelters are listed.

Adopting a pet is a heart-felt event and often involves family and friends. Losing a pet is, by contrast, a gut wrenching experience and the degree to which finding a lost pet is successful, usually depends on a much larger network than just family and friends.

Other methods of searching - utility pole signs, storefront postings and office billboards take time and are not always free. That's where the "free" in freetoAgoodhome.com originated.
