Whois & Analysis for adoptapet.com

Pet adoption is the process of taking responsibility for a pet that a previous owner has abandoned or released to a shelter or rescue organization.

Common sources for adoptable pets are animal shelters and rescue groups.

Some organizations give adopters ownership of the pet, while others use a guardianship model wherein the organization retains some control over the animal's future use or care.

The domestic cat is a small, typically furry, carnivorous mammal.

They are often called house cats when kept as indoor pets or simply cats when there is no need to distinguish them from other felids and felines.

Cats are often valued by humans for companionship and for their ability to hunt vermin.

There are more than 70 cat breeds, though different associations proclaim different numbers according to their standards.

The use of dogs in search and rescue (SAR) is a valuable component in wilderness tracking, natural disasters, mass casualty events, and in locating missing people.

Dedicated handlers and well-trained dogs are required for the use of dogs to be effective in search efforts.

Search and rescue dogs are typically worked, by a small team on foot.

A pet or companion animal is an animal kept primarily for a person's company, protection, or entertainment rather than as a working animal, sport animal, livestock, or laboratory animal.

Popular pets are often noted for their attractive appearances and their loyal or playful personalities.

A breed is a specific group of domestic animals having appearance (phenotype), homogeneous behavior, and/or other characteristics that distinguish it from other organisms of the same species.

Breeds are formed through genetic isolation and either natural adaptation to the environment or selective breeding, or a combination of the two.

Despite the centrality of the idea of "breeds" to animal husbandry and agriculture, no single, scientifically accepted definition of the term exists.

A breed is therefore not an objective or biologically verifiable classification but is instead a term of art amongst groups of breeders who share a consensus around what qualities make some members of a given species members of a nameable subset.
