I’ve met a lot of people in rescue who think their job is to run a pet zoo. They must do, because they spend all of their day working inside their organisation or sitting by the phone waiting for it to ring.
Sure, some rescues are so well known that their phone does ring off the hook – but most smaller rescue groups don’t have this luxury.
Unless you’re inundated with inbound calls from potential adopters (and this means adopters that actually suit your requirements, not just people looking for ‘cheap pets’) the only way you’re going to make something happen is to get out of the office, get in front of people with potential and show them what you’re about.
Anyone can start taking dogs from the pound and start looking after them. A rescue however, see the need to then push these dogs out of care and into homes.
What are you doing to find new adopters?
