Holding events is a great way to get the community involved. Use social media and partner with newspapers to promote the events.

Example: Adoption Drives

• A way to showcase an animal shelters’ animals and encourage people to adopt
• A way to include spay and neuter education
• Require about 2-3 months to plan and prepare for a successful event
• Designate areas to showcase the animals and also have an area to complete adoption paperwork
• To encourage attendees, have incentives for people to attend
  • Examples: food, giveaways, music
• Plan to collect attendees’ information, like their email addresses
  • Can continue to communicate with them at a later date
