One good dog adoption story deserves thousands more!

In honor of the Hallmark Hall of Fame world premiere of A DOG NAMED CHRISTMAS, we're helping Petfinder.com give every dog adoption story a happy ending.

This holiday season, Petfinder.com is kicking off the first ever “Foster A Lonely Pet For the Holidays” program in conjunction with the movie A DOG NAMED CHRISTMAS. Based on Greg Kincaid's popular novel, it's a touching story about a developmentally challenged young man who names his adopted dog Christmas and sets out to convince the whole town to participate in a local animal shelter's inaugural “Adopt a Dog for Christmas Program.”

Similarly, Petfinder.com is working with more than 2,000 shelters and rescue groups across North America to give families a chance to adopt a pet this holiday season.

Potential dog and cat owners can visit petfinder.com/ foster-a- lonely-pet to learn if their local shelter is participating in the program.

All are encouraged to tune in to the Hallmark Hall of Fame world premiere of A DOG NAMED CHRISTMAS on Sunday, November 29 at 9/8c only on CBS. Learn more about this pet fostering program at the Hallmark Hall of Fame .

:shrug: they're still not human.
Using terms like "adoption" and "fostering" for animals devalues the needs of human children when you consider them to be the same as a stray cat.

Good Lord Aps...go scare some old dude with your motorcycle and leave us animal people alone. :yay:


p.s. we don't use the term "adaption."

Did anyone watch this? We taped it but probably won't get a chance to watch it for a couple days.
