How Your Pet Can Help You Find Love

With Valentine’s Day coming up this Saturday (I swear, wasn’t it just Christmas?), Petfinder sent me a really cute list of ways that your pet can help you find true love!

1. Start a “doggy jogging” club. With so many people looking for inexpensive exercising options, you’ll have more than a few joggers following your tail.
2. Add “Must Love Dogs” to your Internet dating profile.
3. Frequent your local dog park. For extra attention from fellow pet parents, dress your pooch in the oh-so-fashionable dog sweaters and booties – if nothing else, you will find out who has a sense of humor.
4. Join a local breed club and attend their events and gatherings. You may just meet that special someone who loves pit bulls or rat terriers as much as you.
5. Don’t have a cuddly puppy of your own? Foster a small dog from a local shelter or rescue group and tout him around town. (Guys, trust me, this is an instant chick magnet.)
6. Make sure you are dressed up when you go to your local vet / groomer / pet supply store.
7. Ask the attractive person next to you if they think your dog looks like Paris Hilton’s famous Tinker Bell pooch or soon-to-be First Dog.
8. Volunteer at your local shelter or rescue. You will have first dibs on the incoming singles seeking a companion.
9. Avoid a social faux pas by training your pet to not bite / pee on / eat / jump on a current love prospect.
10. Don’t worry – if you don’t have a pet, you can always adopt from Petfinder.com. Of course, cooing over someone else’s animal companion can be just as successful. You won’t even need a pick-up line!
