A pet is defined as a domesticated animal that you keep in your home for your enjoyment, such as a cat, a dog, a bird or a rabbit. A pet must be kept for pleasure and not to make a profit from the buying and selling of the animal [source: ASPCA].
People often get very attached to their pet and when they're forced to sell it, for whatever reason, it's important that they find the right buyer. The first step in this process is letting people know that your pet is for sale:
Advertise Place an advertisement in the classified section of your local paper.
Advertise Place an advertisement on one of the many online sites devoted to helping people buy and sell their pets.
Advertise Ask your vet if you can hang a sign advertising your pet on his office bulletin board.
Before selling your pet to a potential buyer, be sure to consider the following:
Is the buyer ready for the long-term commitment that owning a pet requires? Some animals can live for quite a number of years. The potential owner must realize that he will have to take care of the pet by providing food, a home and medical care for as long as the animal lives.
Can the buyer afford the pet? According to an estimate by the American Pet Food Manufacturers Association, feeding a dog can cost over $1,000 per year.
Does the buyer have the time to give a pet the attention it needs? Make sure the buyer doesn't travel extensively and will be at home for the pet. Dogs that are left alone for long periods of time develop behavioral problems. [source: Robinson]

The objective of Angels Watch Animal Shelter, Inc., ( a 501c3 approved non-profit organization ) is to establish a multi-acre sanctuary and adoption center for unwanted, abandoned, abused, and homeless animals.
This environmentally green facility is a no-kill center which will care for and house each animal until they can be adopted. Angels Watch will create a database with other such facilities in order to be vigilant in insuring the safe placement of and care for these pitiful animals. By having this communication network, we will be able to do our part to rescue and give the necessary shelter and care to such animals.
Our commitment to protecting these canines and horses will be to educate people on the vulnerability of these animals to being abused, abandoned, etc.
Angels Watch's immediate short term goals are to build an all “green” facility which will house nine to twelve residents at a time. We will first concentrate on establishing the facility for canines and felines.
The shelter will allow each animal to have its own living quarters. Also included will be rooms for the initial observation of each incoming resident. This facility will be equipped with a treatment room, indoor exercise rooms, areas for grooming, and the necessary space for administration offices.
The long term goals for Angels Watch will be to include horses in the community. The facility for this vision will include a barn which will house eight to twelve horses.Also in this facility will be examination and treatment areas, a grooming center, exercise or rehabilitation areas, and the necessary acreage for the natural lifestyle for horses.
Angels Watch will be steadfast in doing our part to help eliminate the horrific stories we all hear concerning the abuse, abandonment, and euthanizing of animals. This will be our mission and we are fully committed to this project. Dedicated to accomplishing our mission, we are investing each and every day towards achieving the goals and vision of this facility and future facilities.
