Apparently, in some areas of the US you can view short videos of local pets who are in need of homes via Comcast on Demand.

We don’t have Comcast here in Brooklyn, so we were not aware this existed, but now that know about it we think it’s really nice. Yes, you heard us. Nice. Comcast users who have this feature can go to the local section of the “On Demand” menu and check out some local pets who are looking for good homes. We’re glad Time Warner doesn’t offer this feature, or we’d be adopting 241,248,423 pets a minute whenever we felt sad.—MEGHANN MARCO
