adopt your new pet from the humain socity!!!?

Question

i have a club. we want to get as many people as we can to adopt their pet from the humain socity. (sorry. bad speller) any ideas of how to make this work?

Answer 1

get the humane society to let you take dogs out to places like the mall, the gas station, wal-mart and get the stores to agree to let you have the dogs there. then when people see them and pet them there they will want to adopt them. our petsmart does this.

Answer 2

Put up posters and demonstrate outside of pet stores selling puppies. Volunteer to take shelter dogs to schools and educate the kids about adoption and how to properly take care of a pet - that's when you can do the most good!

This is my advice to people looking for puppies:

Adopt a shelter dog or find a good breeder by going to www.akc.org or talking to people at dog shows. You can also find info about the breed clubs on the akc site - they probably have a rescue group where you can get an older dog for less money. The best breeders will be members of their breed club, promoting healthy dogs with great temperaments. They should ask you a bunch of questions to make sure their puppy will be getting a good home. If all a "breeder" seems to care about is whether your check will clear, you can be sure he won't care a week later when the pup is dying from distemper or parvo and you want your money back.

Whatever you do, DON'T go to a pet shop, a flea market or buy one sight-unseen off the Internet!!!! You'll pay top dollar for what is usually a poor quality puppy mill dog. And you'll be supporting one of the cruelest industries in the country. The breeding animals are often kept in deplorable conditions - spending their entire lives in small wire-bottomed cages. They probably haven't been vaccinated against contagious diseases or tested for any health or temperament problems or genetic diseases - that costs money and cuts into their profits. A female is often bred every time she comes into heat. When her poor little body can't take it any more, she is often clubbed in the head and tossed into a dumpster or an open ditch. Most puppy mills ship their pups to pet stores at wholesale prices and many pups die before they even get there.

These so-called "breeders" have now figured out that they can use the internet to ship a dog directly to the customer and thus make more money by cutting out the middleman. If you buy a dog from out of state, good luck getting your money back if there's something wrong with the pup. These people count on you becoming instantly attached to the poor little guy and being willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars at the vet to treat whatever is wrong with him.

Answer 3

Try making a site about it, and making bumper stickers for all of the people in the club. Don't worry, I'm doing it too. My home is it's own non-profit organization, so try meeting a lot of people and spreading the word. Hook up with some local pet rescues, they can help, too.

Answer 4

You rock!!! that's a great thing to do!!
Put up flyer's all around town
put an ad in the paper if you tell them what your doing they may do it for you for free
You'll be amazed at the generosity of people when it comes to helping animals

Answer 5

Please don't take this as a rude comment, but the correct spelling is HUMANE SOCIETY. If you put out literature spelled incorrectly, people will get turned off.

I am a volunteer at the local animal shelter.

Answer 6

I will by our next dogs from a shelter, though it will probably be like 12 years before we get new dogs. Good luck!
