FAQ

How can I prepare to adopt a pet at the HOGS and DOGS Adoption Event?

To be an effective adopter, bring valid ID and be ready to answer questions about your home environment and lifestyle to ensure a good match. Consider what type of pet suits your daily routine, and bring any existing pet records if you have other animals at home.

What can attendees do to support the cause if they’re not adopting?

You can support by volunteering during the event, spreading the word on social media, donating supplies or funds directly to the rescue organizations, or simply spending time socializing with the animals to help them feel comfortable and loved.

How should I approach interacting with the animals to help them get adopted?

Be gentle and patient—let the animals come to you. Approach them calmly and use positive, encouraging tones. Volunteers will guide you on the best way to interact with each animal to showcase their personalities.

Are there any specific donations or supplies that would be most helpful at the event?

While monetary donations are always appreciated, donations of pet food, toys, blankets, collars, and leashes are incredibly helpful. Check with the rescue organizations on-site for their most urgent needs.

What measures are in place to ensure the safety and comfort of both attendees and animals during the event?

The event is organized with safety protocols including shaded rest areas for animals, plenty of water stations, and designated areas for introductions. Attendees are encouraged to follow volunteer instructions and practice good hygiene, especially hand washing after animal interactions.
