Hoping to decrease the number of dogs euthanized in shelters each year in the United States, a new web site called Dogs In Danger (dogsindanger.com) working with shelters across the country is posting pictures of adoptable dogs-along with a countdown clock for each dog showing the days and hours until that dog is destroyed.Dogs in Danger (DogsInDanger.com), is a free service both for participating shelters and people looking for pets, allowing users to search for dogs slated for euthanasia by location, breed, or time until death.
The site is operated by The Buddy Fund, Inc., a non-profit organization founded by dog lover and pet adoption advocate Alex Aliksanyan.
The DogsInDanger.com site has been designed to provide maximum help to shelters with little effort by already overburdened shelter staff. Once registered, shelters will be given any software they need to upload pictures and other information to the site. Shelters that do not own a digital camera will be furnished one at no cost. In addition, The Buddy Fund will allow shelters to decide how they wish to be contacted by people seeking to adopt a dog.
