THE PET MATCHMAKER™, ELAINE HENDRIX, LAUNCHES WEBSITE TO HELP ADOPTERS FIND AND KEEP THE PERFECT PET

LOS ANGELES, CA—Facing a doggie dilemma or a cat quandary? The Pet
Matchmaker™ is here to help. Elaine Hendrix—award-winning actress,
lifelong animal lover and advocate—and her team of animal experts and
experienced animal enthusiasts are providing pet parents with 
information and advice to help them find an animal friendship to last a lifetime at
www.ThePetMatchmaker.com.

“It’s important that people are realistic about their lifestyles when
choosing an animal to adopt,” says Elaine Hendrix, The Pet Matchmaker™.
“This is a new, entertaining online resource that helps people pick the
pet best suited for them, and then gives them information to care for 
that pet their entire lives.”

The site outlines practical considerations and offers plenty of
“How-To” guides for pet adopters. Information any pet parent should
keep in mind, like ‘finances’ and ‘schedule,’ is designed to help
individuals and families make matches that will stand the test of time. 
The website then helps users locate local shelters and rescue groups with
animals available for adoption in their area.

Already found your animal match? The website provides visitors with 
ongoing animal care advice, pet-centric Nancy and Sluggo cartoons, illustrated 
by Guy Gilchrist, uplifting articles from a variety of regular 
contributors and much more! The engaging and dynamic layout makes the website easy 
to navigate whether you’re searching by animal or care topic, which 
includes nutrition, grooming and training, among many others.

In the Community section, animal lovers are invited to join The Pet
Matchmaker’s social network and create a personal profile to share
stories, photos and videos of their animals and connect with other pet
enthusiasts. The Community section is also the perfect spot to 
introduce and network animals who are looking for their forever homes. Young 
animal lovers have a special section with word games, coloring pages and
activities, in addition to articles written by kids for kids. Make the
“My Pet Forever” pledge and you’ll receive a downloadable
certificate—great for teaching children about the responsibility
associated with pets and an excellent conversation starter with friends 
on the importance of keeping pets in homes and out of shelters.

As The Pet Matchmaker™, Hendrix also hosts radio’s “The Pet Care
Minute,” where she shares with listeners her insightful and effective
