A friend of mine read the story in The Daily Toki of Bodhi the blue heeler and the family that adopted him.  He had recently attempted to adopt a heeler of his own, but the adoption feel through, as sometimes happens, and he and his family were heartbroken.  Thinking that I might have a heeler connection, he asked me if I might have any leads on how to find another adoptable heeler for his family.

Turns out, I do . . .

I’ve only mentioned petfinder.com in passing on this blog.  But in fact, it’s the website that was directly responsible for Toki coming into our lives.  It’s a fantastic site that matches adoptable dogs to the people that are looking for them.  You can search by breed, age, gender, and location.  I’ve known so many people who have found their special fur-baby through this website.  It’s like match.com for pets and people.

One cool thing about petfinder is that there’s an iphone app for the site.  (I actually found Toki while browsing petfinder at my local coffee shop.)

Just for kicks, I thought I’d share Toki’s petfinder entry with you.
