FAQ

How can I prepare to adopt a pet at the event?

To be ready for adoption at the event, pre-apply by submitting your adoption application online at sayvanimals.org/adopt. This helps speed up the process and ensures you are pre-approved to meet and potentially take home a new pet on the day.

What can I do to support the animals and the organization during the event?

You can support by spreading the word about the event, bringing friends or family along, volunteering your time at the event, and sharing the adoption profiles on social media to help animals find loving homes faster.

How can I be an effective advocate for pets in need during the event?

Engage with the volunteers and staff to learn about each animal’s story and needs, ask questions, and share these stories with your community. Educating others and encouraging responsible adoption and pet care helps make a bigger impact.

What precautions should I take regarding the weather during the outdoor event?

Since the event is held outdoors, please check the weather forecast ahead of time and dress accordingly. Bring water, sunscreen, and stay hydrated. If you feel unwell or if the weather conditions become severe, prioritize your health and safety.

Can I bring items to donate or support the animals at the event?

While there is no specific donation target, bringing supplies like pet food, blankets, toys, or other donations is often appreciated. Please ask event volunteers onsite about current needs to best support the animals.

Did you know?

Adopting a shelter pet saves two lives: the one you adopt and the one that will take its place in the shelter.

ASPCA

Shelter animals are often already vaccinated, spayed/neutered, and microchipped, making adoption a convenient way to bring a healthy pet home.

Petfinder

Adopted pets from shelters tend to exhibit fewer behavioral issues compared to pets purchased from some breeders or pet stores.

American Humane

Choosing to adopt reduces the demand for commercially bred pets, which are often raised in poor conditions known as puppy mills or kitten factories.

Humane Society International

Every year, approximately 6.3 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters, and adoption is the best way to give them a second chance.

American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)

Adopting from local shelters helps support your community and fund vital animal welfare programs and services.
