Bryant Pond pets go on-line

BRYANT POND — Molly's Moments, Bryant Pond, has joined other animal welfare organizations in the area that list their homeless pets on Petfinder.com, the oldest and largest database of adoptable animals on the Internet. The site currently has over 359,000 homeless pets listed, and it is updated continuously.
