HILLIARD, OHIO--(Marketwire - July 13, 2010) - Pethealth Inc. (TSX:PTZ)- Bumble, a white, one year old Boxer, who has been deaf since birth, was happily adopted by his new family with the help of a web-based leading edge animal management welfare system, called PetPoint. PetPoint, launched in 2005, provides a live feed of pets available for adoption on shelter websites and Petango.com.

Bumble's adoption tale is anything but ordinary. In early June, the surrendered dog was returned to the Capital Area Humane Society due to a change in lifestyle by his adopting family. Upon his arrival back, Bumble's details were keyed into PetPoint and he was listed as available for adoption on Petango.

For the last few months, Laura Thomas and Julie Cherubini of Columbus Ohio had been thinking about [ adopting another Boxer ]. Both Laura and Julie have adopted before, and were looking for a companion for Dolce, who is also a deaf, white Boxer. The day before, Laura was browsing Petango's adoptable pet search listings on the Humane Society's website with the hope that they would find 'the one'. They spotted Bumble and it was love at first sight.

"When I saw Bumble on Petango, there was just something about his face that made me email the link to Julie. When Julie took a look, she immediately said we should meet him," said Laura Thomas.

Staff from the shelter brought the dog to his new family. Bumble, oblivious of the fact that he was PetPoint's 2-millionth adopted pet, lapped up their loving hugs and kisses. "He is the first dog that caught our interest since we adopted Dolce. So I guess it was fate that he became part of our family," added Laura.

"For an animal shelter to thrive our clients expect instant gratification; it takes energy, commitment and Petango! Since implementing Petango on our website, available animals are updated instantly, making our website dynamic and even addictive! Just ask our thousands of regular visitors," said Jodi Lytle Buckman, Executive Director, Capital Area Humane Society.

In celebration of this event, Laura and Julie received a new adopter kit from ThePetangoStore.com containing a plush bed, bowls, collar and leash, tasty treats and [ chew toys ]. They also benefited from a year of [ ShelterCare Pet Insurance ], to help them protect their financial savings from expensive vet bills caused by unexpected accidents or illnesses.

"We strongly encourage and support the [ adoption of pets ] from shelters. We help our animal welfare partners save as many pets as possible by providing them with tools that support their donation efforts as well as reduce their financial and operational costs. This includes Petango.com, our [ online pet adoption ] search tool which helps potential adopters to browse a live feed of animals available for adoption, share pet information with family and friends, participate in a thriving pet community and purchase [ pet supplies ] and medications at ThePetangoStore.com," said Christa Chadwick, Director, North American Shelter Outreach at Pethealth Inc.
