Adoption

Finding loving homes for animals is a critical function of many animal care organizations. From guidelines about the adoption process to reproducible promotional materials, we can help you structure an effective and efficient process that benefits staff, adopters—and, of course, animals.

In addition, the fall 2009 launch of The Shelter Pet Project will bring a whole new wave of adopters to shelters across the country. An unprecedented media campaign, The Shelter Pet Project has the potential to change the lives of millions of animals.

Please use the links below to navigate our resources, and learn more about the campaign.
