Would you love to give your pet adoption program a boost, but fear that free adoptions send the wrong message, attract the wrong people and result in bad outcomes for pets?
Free pet adoptions have become more popular with shelters and rescue groups. Those who promote them find they can bring attention to senior pets, feral cats and pets with medical conditions. In addition, these promotions increase foot traffic to adoption events and shelters, raise awareness of shelter animals and attract positive media attention.
At the same time, many people in the animal welfare community are concerned that pets adopted without a fee are more likely to be returned to the shelter, or worse, obtained thoughtlessly or for bad reasons.
Which position is best supported by research and experience?
