October is Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog
Month. How Can I Help?
October is Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog
Month and there are more dogs in need than ever. Check out the articles here
for great information on adopting a dog, a dog adoption checklist, tips for the
first thirty days of dog adoption and more! But what if you can’t adopt? Here
are some easy ways you can still help:
Donate your Facebook status. Just
paste this message into the “What’s on your mind?” box at the top of your page:
“October is Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month. Save a life: Adopt a dog!
https://www.petfinder.com”
Tweet, retweet and repeat the
following (or your own brilliant message): “October is Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog
Month. Save a life: Adopt a dog! https://www.petfinder.com #savedogs”
Contact your local shelter or
rescue group (you can search for groups near you here) and ask if they have a
donation wish list or other flyer they’d like to you to post around your office
or neighborhood. They may be holding special events for Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog
Month which you can help promote.
Share an adoptable dog or a
Petfinder dog-adoption Happy Tail on your blog, Facebook or Twitter (hashtag
#savedogs) page each day of the month.
Sign up as a foster parent or
shelter volunteer then tell your friends how great it is. Contact your local
shelter or rescue group to find out how you can help.
Add a Petfinder widget or banner
to your Web site or blog.
Write an op-ed about the
importance of pet adoption for your local paper.
Contact your local shelter or rescue
group and offer to photograph their adoptable pets and upload the pics to
Petfinder.
Donate to your local shelter or
rescue group or to the Petfinder.com Foundation in honor of Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog
Month.
Pass on an understanding of the
importance of pet adoption to the next generation. Talk to your kids, nieces,
nephews, grandchildren and other up-and-comers about animal shelters and why
Adopt-A-Shelter-Dog Month, and pet adoption in general, is important.
