Voices Carry for Animals # 18

Hosted by Debbie Dahmer

Guest will be Keith Swerling- Animal Rights Advocate   

Keith Swerling in 2012 started FLAGGING Animal Sales on Craigslist which now has over 5,000 members. Keith started the group because he was following the Urgent cats and dogs being posted to the NYC ACC. Every day Keith would be reduced to tears. He tried pledging a few times but almost all of the pets were killed, Keith also has been admin for  Lost Pets in Rhode Island for 2+ years. Keith's goal is to post close to 100% of lost and found pets in the state

Once Keith realized that all of these (BYB) Backyard breeder pet sales were flooding our shelters with puppies, and the endless litters being created just for sale on CL, Keith had to get the flaggers organized so we could be statistically effective. Although RI Lost Pets has more than enough Lost pets, I realized that Massachusetts, Connecticut, NH, ME, and Delaware do not have the same level of devotion to getting 100% of the pets reunited, so I started those pages. MA Lost Pets

Keith probably have messaged, talked to or chatted with 99% of all the lost pets and found pet owners in RI, MA, CT, and NH Helping Lost Pets.com is a National Pet Registry. When a pet is listed, we send email and text alerts to our members in the area. We provide tools to make it easy to share the pet listings on Social Media. We are connected with Animal Shelters, Humane Societies, Lost and Found Pet Recovery Groups, Veterinarians, Pet Rescues and many other pet businesses and organizations.
