You have some dogs that need homes.
Do you
a) kill them
or
b) host an adoption event on a Sunday and tell people about it?
Gladstone folk opened their hearts and their homes yesterday by adopting six orphaned dogs at the RSPCA monthly dog adoption day.
The fourth adoption day was held by the Friends of RSPCA Gladstone, following on from the success of last Sunday’s cat adoption day, from which 14 cats and kittens found new homes.
“Six of our lovely animals were adopted and another three look like going by the end of the week,” Friends of RSPCA Gladstone publicity officer Judy Whicker said.
“We had a great day with a lot of interest, so I’m sure we will get a couple of adoptions from the showings.
9am to 12pm is 3 hrs, which means 6 adoptions was a great result! Not counting those who came forward after such a positive article was printed in the local paper, or the 14 cats adopted the week before.
Just by hosting a Sunday event and telling people about it!
“This is the smile that goes with the cat in the box !!! Adopted at Cat Adoption day”
According to their Facebook page, the Friends of RSPCA Gladstone’s next adoption day is Sunday, October 3. If you’re in the area get down there and show your support, buy something they’re selling or just say thanks to them on behalf of the animals.
Regional pounds across the country kill and claim its because no one wants the pets they have. Could weekend adoption events be the key to saving lives?
