Pack Your Pets – Website Says Don’t Leave Your Pets Behind

 Print Article

RISMEDIA, June 20, 2008-It’s not a pretty picture — rising fuel costs, food prices, and interest rates combined with lost jobs, falling home values and foreclosure rates at their highest are forcing many people to downsize their living environment to an apartment or condominium. Unfortunately, often times this also means downsizing the furry family members as well. The sad truth is that many people are being forced to leave their pets behind or even abandon them. Finding a pet-friendly apartment or condo is not always an easy task, and this is the driving force behind the work of entrepreneur Alex Dobrow.

Dobrow’s own difficulty in finding a place to live with his 120-pound German Pinscher led to the creation of his website “PeopleWithPets,” a one-stop free resource for living and traveling with pets. According to the company, pet owners can find an up-to-date directory of pet-friendly apartment communities from coast to coast. The site even provides listings for individuals seeking roommates in pet-friendly environments.

Traveling? In addition to finding homes, the easy-to-use website also provides pet owners with a complete listing of hundreds of pet-friendly hotels throughout the United States. Tips for preparing, caring and traveling with your pets are also included free of charge to ensure a safe and comfortable vacation for the entire family.

The site also offers links to breeders, boarders, pet-sitters, and advice on health, training and shopping, PeopleWithPets.com is a complete pet resource, saving you both time and money, and needless worry.

“Our goal is to ease the burden of finding apartments, rental housing and hotel accommodations for pet owners,” said Alex Dobrow, founder of PeopleWithPets.com. “I, like many other animal lovers, would rather live on the street than part with my best friend.”
