Per below email exchange with Petfinder, their API intentionally truncates the description, and it was recommended to visit the pet on Petfinder.com for full details and the rest of the pet description.
Need to investigate whether scraping the data from the pet on Petfinder.com is an option.

API help - pet description cut off
Description
Hello, I am building a website (temporarily hosted at www.petfinder.addisondubay.com, I'll be getting a dedicated domain soon)... I am successfully pulling the API, but the .description for the animal is coming back short. Is there a way to get the full length description?
