Comcast offers pet adoptions on demand

If you've seen all the movies, maybe you can search for a kitty?

With Pet Adoptions On Demand, Comcast introduces another interesting way to browse animals available for adoption from home. But this time on TV instead of online.

And the pets you see here, are residents of Baltimore area shelters that need homes. The company works with the Humane Society of Harford County and the SPCA of Anne Arundel County.

Though Comcast isn't sure how many animals have been adopted through TV, it's featured nearly 300 of them so far in the area.

Pet Adoptions On Demand is part of the company's community-focused “Get Local” programs. It launched here in 2007 and is running in 27 markets across the country. It's one of the Top 10 most viewed "on demand" offerings, company officials say.

Comcast Digital Cable subscribers can watch these video profiles for free any time with a click of their remote controls. Each profile shows off the animal, describing its name, tag number, history and temperament. There's a number to call for more information or to arrange a visit.

About Jill Rosen
Jill Rosen is a reporter at The Baltimore Sun. During her nearly 20 years in journalism, she has covered news and features — including a surprising number of stories that involved animals. There were the dog Christmas carolers in State College, Pa. There were the hounds who toured with a production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean. She, Leo, Pumpkin and Teddy Bean live in Baltimore.
