The City of Stockton (Calif.) Animal Shelter is using complimentary pitbull adoptions up until additionally notice.
According to its Facebook page, this is an continuous special created to get dogs out the door alive.
The reason I want to highlight this shelter’s efforts is since I like the concept of complimentary adoptions or discounted adoptions in general.
I likewise hope to motivate a lot more shelters to do what other progressive shelters are already doing.
Simply, adoption specials work!
Why I support complimentary or discounted adoptions
1. complimentary or discounted adoptions save lives.
Offering free adoptions or discounted adoptions for any type of pet is good marketing tool to get people to the shelter.
Let’s deal with it, shelters are understood as depressing places, as well as some animal enthusiasts prevent them. Others just have no concept the regional shelter even exists.
That’s why positive advertising is so important! Adoption specials are one method to get people speaking about the shelter in general.

more people will see the shelter
more people will volunteer
more people will donate
more people will adopt

It makes sense to offer a discount rate on harder to location animals or on animals that are in big “supply” such as cats, pitbull mixes, big dogs, Chihuahuas, etc.
Each shelter is different as well as may have a lot more of a specific type of pet compared to other regions.
Here are a couple examples of recent specials at other shelters:
San Diego Humane Society offered 50 percent off on all adult pets:
Austin family pets to life used a “2 for 1” special on cats:
A couple of other reasons I support adoption discounts:
2. There are still screening processes in place.
When shelters offer adoption specials, the adopters still have to go with the exact same adoption application process as any individual else. At minimum, there is an adoption application to fill out.

3. complimentary family pets are liked just as much as other pets.
You can’t put a cost on love.
How lots of of you have discovered as well as taken in an animal for free?
How lots of of you have paid less than $100 for your present pet? most likely most.
And you don’t like your pet less than the person who paid $500 or $1,200 for hers. as well as you still comprehend family pets expense money.
Two of my family pets were free. The other was $25. There’s nothing special or special about me for loving my complimentary or “cheap” pets. I’m just like everybody else who likes her animals.
There’s no controvery – adoption specials save lives

Sadly, some web sites are producing a “controversy” or “debate” around Stockton’s complimentary pitbull adoptions.
Some of the headlines include:
“Stockton shelter uses complimentary Pit Bull Adoptions; movie critics Sound Off” – From Fox40
“Shelter provides Away Pit Bulls, Angering Both enthusiasts as well as Haters of the Breed” – Dogster
But the thing is, a lot of people do not have an viewpoint on pitbulls.
It may seem like there are “haters” out there, however it’s a little group. as well as just like anything, this little group is great at being additional loud on Facebook to make it seem like there’s genuine controversy.
الحقيقة:
[quote_right]Most people don’t have an viewpoint on pitbulls.[/quote_right]Most people don’t have an viewpoint on pitbulls.
They don’t like them; they don’t dislike them.
Most people view pitbulls as … wait on it … dogs!
And just as there is a little group of haters, there is small group of extreme pitbull enthusiasts who have likewise lost touch with reality.
That being said, there are two myths I’d like to set straight, coming from this glorified “controversy.”
Myth #1: complimentary pitbull adoptions draw in the wrong people, like pet dog fighters.
خطأ شنيع.
Dog battling is terrible, however it’s not the epidemic some would like us to believe.

Pitbulls are prominent dogs. I’d even go so far as to phone call them the most prominent dogs in America ideal now!
The majority of pitbulls are in loving homes, will never be mistreated as well as will never fight. (See the majority Project.)[QUOTE_CENTER] غالبية Pitbulls في المنازل المحبة ، لن يتم سوء معاملتها أبدًا ، ولن تقاتل أبدًا. [/QUOTE_CENTER]
شخص ما مدرج في قتال كلب الحيوانات الأليفة لن يذهب إلى ملجأ لاحتضان بطله القادم القادم. بالإضافة إلى ذلك ، هذا هو السبب في أن الملاجئ لديها عمليات فحص أساسية في مكانها كما هو موضح أعلاه.
بعض الأشخاص الذين يذكرون أنهم يحبون Pitbulls هم في الواقع السبب في مقتل الكثير من pitbull في الملاجئ. إنهم يقفون في طريقة تمكين كلاب المأوى من العودة إلى المنزل. شاهد نشرتي على أساطير بيتبول.
حزن جيد.
الأسطورة رقم 2: تشير عمليات تبني Pitbull المجانية إلى أن الكثير من الكلاب الخطرة ستكون في المجتمع.
خطأ شنيع.
من الأهمية بمكان في تقليل لدغات الكلاب للحيوانات الأليفة أن يستهدف نوعًا معينًا من الكلاب ولكن الحصول على تشريعات أفضل بكثير في الموقع لتحفيز ملكية الكلاب للحيوانات الأليفة بشكل عام. هذا ليس لديه ما يصنعه مع السلالة.
تلتزم الملاجئ ومجموعات الإنقاذ بالتواصل مع الخيارات المثالية حول الكلاب الخاصة التي يتبناها. جزء صغير من جميع الكلاب خطرة حقيقية وكذلك يجب قتلها أو إدارتها بعناية فائقة ، ولكن هذا ليس لديه ما يصنعه مع السلالة.
من الناحية المثالية ، يجب التحقق من تبني الكثير من pitbulls كنتيجة إيجابية للمجتمعات لأنه يشير إلى أن الكثير من الكلاب ودية ستذهب إلى منازل رائعة.
أنا جميعًا أؤيد إرسال الكلاب إلى المنزل!
