It is extremely important to us that pets in need find lifelong, loving homes and we want to provide a way this community can be used to help serve that purpose.

For that reason, we're planning on providing private messaging on pets.com in the near future.

However, in the meantime we're concerned about protecting the privacy of our members and discourage the release of personal contact information in public forums. Often, the moderation on the site will delete entries that release private contact information. 

If you would like to post a pet looking for adoption, please try to provide an online web address to establish contact. 

I'll keep you posted on developments for private messaging soon. 

Thank you for your understanding and patience!
