Your organization can now get free materials from The Humane Society of the United States' groundbreaking spay/neuter ad campaign. Read below, then get set to download campaign materials you can customize!

Launched in 2008 to increase spay/neuter rates in Louisiana and Mississippi, the campaign is based on extensive research into pet owners' attitudes and behaviors on the issue. The research demonstrated why past outreach efforts have failed to significantly address homelessness, and provided valuable lessons toward developing a new approach. For a full explanation of the research, read the report.

The ads highlight the numbers of shelter animals euthanized and compel owners of unaltered pets to consider how the personal decision of spaying or neutering their pet can make a difference. Materials prominently feature local, affordable spay/neuter services so that viewers can take immediate action.

The campaign includes television ads, radio spots, billboards, posters, doorhangers, and postcards.
