New Website Connects Rescue Pet Adopters with Pet’s Previous Owners for Free

Pet Parents Place is a free website that serves as a resource for previous and current owners of pets – including dogs, cats, tropical birds and horses – who might have been separated for a myriad of different reasons.

Every year approximately 6.5 million dogs and cats enter US animal shelters. Of those, approximately 3.2 million are adopted. For the owners of the pets that had to be surrendered, the need to know that their pet is alive and having a great, new life is extremely important and provides peace of mind.

The creation of the website was the idea and humanitarian project of Connie Bekavac, who has personally paid for the entire creation of the company. The site is free to use to enable everyone to be able to use it and has no advertisements. Donations are welcomed, with all profits going to rescue groups.

As Bekavac has always adopted older rescue pets, she often wondered if the pet’s previous owner wanted to know what happened to their pet. “With our website, it’s so easy to connect the parties. It gives the past owners comfort to know their beloved pet is in a happy home and it gives the new pet owners a chance to find out any medical issues and other information about their new pet,” Bekavac said.

To use Pet Parents Place, users simply create an account that only requires their first name and e-mail address. They then complete the pet’s profile with all the information they have about their pet and a photo, if available. The website also includes links and information such as pet resources, pet adoption, pet services, a blog and a newsletter.
