Do you believe it can happen?
We do, we have seen it, in our own community... A reduction in the number of shelter dogs!
Thanks to a supportive community!:
2011 was a banner year for Advocates!
We produced a positive shelter dog commercial (Powder Ridge Productions) Now Valley residents see what AWESOME dogs there are to adopt at the shelters!
We are featured year round at Vagabond Blues Coffeehouse, with a Pet of the Week frame that has brought in numerous adopters to the Valley shelter.
We are featured at Beartooth theater pub, in Anchorage, encouraging adoptions for AAAC!
We held monthly events at all PetZoo locations, sharing our mission with customers, encouraging pariticpation in local animal shelters, and we even added a preventitive measure: microchipping! Preventing more dogs and cats from becoming wards of shelters!
We met alot of wonderful pet owners throughout the year, and they have been very supportive in their donations, which has allowed us to accomplish the goals we did in 2011!
Thank you for your support.
Now 2012...OUR Goals are no less challenging this year.
We are putting together an educational program, we hope to launch in the Valley schools, which will bring together dog safety, and the compassionate bond between humans and animals. Building compassion in a community through education.
We are expanding our search for venues for our Opt to Adopt framed art work. These posters DO make a difference for shelter dogs, we need your help in displaying them. Contact us if you are interested in helping your local shelter dogs find new homes.
