Animal videos help adoption

I know that homeless animals are not "news," but I do want to give kudos to The Augusta Chronicle and other newspapers that offer a video pets section on their websites. The section features a weekly video of animals, often up for adoption at local animal shelters. (This week the feature was about an emu that was running around on I-20 that got adopted.) It's hard to decide on adopting a shelter pet as you see it in its tiny cage. The videos offer people a glimpse at the animals out of the cage, and interacting with others.
