Why do you ask us to link back to Adopt a Pet from our website? For Search Engine Optimization, aka SEO. SEO means more adopters see your pets on AdoptaPet.com AND on your own website!
SEO is why we ask that, if possible, you add a link from your shelter or rescue website to either www.adoptapet.com or your pet listings. Your pets, and all adoptable pets on Adopt a Pet, benefit! Having legitimate websites linking to AdoptaPet.com increases our SEO reputation, which increases our rank in search results. That improves the chances of someone seeing your pets, instead of pet store or breeder pets. Generally speaking, most shelter and rescue websites can't rank highly in such a wide variety of searches, but Adopt a Pet can. Our SEO experts are always optimizing our website to get adoptable pets seen by the most people possible.
