Many factors can make a pet seem "less adoptable." To promote these unusual (or, in some cases, too common) animals, Petfinder has designated Sept. 17-25, 2011, as "Adopt-A-Less-Adoptable-Pet Week."

We asked Petfinder-member shelters and rescue groups to nominate a very special pet in their care who is waiting for a home. Check them out in our gallery, then use our pet-search tool to find a special pet for adoption near you.

Petfinder.com will be featuring a gallery on its website during the weeklong event to highlight just how many pets need to be given a chance - just like HEALY the Malamute from Alaska shown below!

You can also log onto Petfinder.com and type in your zip code to find adoptable pets at your local shelters or rescue groups.
