Don't shelter websites usually have an up to date list of animals to adopt? That seems like something that would need some kind of backend unless he's willing to update the list himself every week or whenever.



Some shelters outsource that aspect of the site to something like http://www.petfinder.com


That's exactly right. We used Petfinder and a simple API call with jQuery.


That's kind of an awkward UX though since you have to search, find the shelter website and then search again. Unless they provide some method of deep linking or maybe a javascript API.
