What do your signs say really?

Sign from the waiting room at a shelter near where I live…Â

Â

——————————————————-
Will NOT conduct “same day adoptions” NO EXCEPTIONS AT ALL, PERIOD.

Â

Potential Adopters MUST fill out Adoption Application and Dog Adopter Survey and complete a short interview by one of the Adoption Officers.

Â

ADOPTIONS MUST BE SCHEDULED. We will contact you to set up an appointment if your application, survey and interview were accepted.

Â

WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY POTENTIAL ADOPTER FOR ANY REASON.

Â

But what are they really telling potential adopters?
“We’re inflexible and unfriendly – if you could just leave, that would be great”

How much would a change of sign change the attitude of their clients?

Welcome!

Â

We want to match you to one of our fabulous pets!

Â

To help us find the right pet for you, please take the time to fill in one of our Adoption Applications to help us get to know all about you.

Â

We’ll then introduce you to one of our matchmaking experts to introduce you to some great pets.

Â

Amazing things come to those who wait, so we’re sure you’ll understand that we’ll need 24hrs to prepare your pet.

Â

We look forward to you joining our rescue family and hope you’ll contact us if there is anything we can help you with now and in the future!

Any potential problems with the adoption could just be discussed directly with adopters who don’t make the grade – who knows – it might not even come up!
