Animal Planet adopts Petfinder.com

Dear Petfinder.com members,

Later today we will be making a BIG announcement and we wanted to make sure that
you, our family, heard it from us first.

We are proud to have spent 10 years working with you to facilitate over 10
million pet adoptions. Together we have made great strides towards our goal of
ending the euthanasia of adoptable pets.

We are delighted to share with you, that in order to help us grow and continue
to help even more pets, Petfinder.com is being adopted by the Animal Planet
family. By acquiring Petfinder.com, Animal Planet and Discovery Communications,
Inc. will allow your pets to muster the power of the leading global real-world
media and entertainment company. By joining the Animal Planet family, we will
greatly further our mission in ways never before dreamed of.

Our mission at Petfinder.com, to ensure that no adoptable pet is euthanized for
lack of a home, remains the same. Our dedicated staff, with whom you have
worked over the years, will continue to support you; we continue to be
overwhelmed with respect for the life-saving work that you do. Now we will be
able to increase the support and the exposure that your pets so much deserve.

As we make this exciting announcement to the world tomorrow, we want you to
share our pride in the great things we have accomplished and our anticipation of
all the great things to come. Together we have changed the world – and together
we will continue to do so.

--Betsy and Jared
