D-Link will donate Pan & Tilt Wi-Fi Cameras to new pet owners who adopt from Paw Prints in the Sand Animal Rescue as part of a larger effort to advocate adopting rescue pets.

The relationship will promote responsible pet ownership and pet retention. Additionally, D-Link will develop a series of training and animal behavioral videos in conjunction with Paw Prints in the Sand to help pet owners have happier pets and homes.

"Over 2.7 million companion animals are put down in our nation's shelter system every year. It is our goal to reduce those numbers," said Kelly Reeves, president and co-founder, Paw Prints in the Sand. "A good majority of those pets were surrendered to the shelter by their owners because the owners simply didn't understand the pet's basic needs. We are thrilled to partner with D-Link to help promote adopting shelter pets and pet retention, which will help reduce the number of pets euthanized daily."

D-Link^® Wi-Fi cameras are an excellent tool to keep up with pets' activities while away, especially if folks have an in-home pet sitter or daily dog walker - or anyone who has access to their home. Users can view a secure, live feed of their home and pets from a smart phone or laptop from anywhere and enjoy the peace of mind of knowing their furry family members are safe.

"Paw Prints in the Sand is doing some truly amazing work to help animals in need," said Daniel Kelley, vice president of marketing, D-Link Systems, Inc. "We are happy to help such a great cause and keep animals out of the shelters or off the streets and in loving homes where they belong."
