Survey: If You Wanted A Pet, Where Would You Go?

While nosing around our sibling sites at Discovery I found Petfinder.com, a free matchmaking site with 255,653 pets looking for homes. Being the type of person who sees dogs only as producers of crap on the sidewalk, I found the numbers absolutely staggering- there are that many abandoned pets in shelters in America? According to our How to Green Your Pet, 70,000 puppies and kittens are born every day in the US. Where do they all go? Do animal lovers take them from shelters or chase expensive purebreds?
