I thing if they would just show a photo of one shelter dog or cat
including
a few lines about the animal in the local newspapers a week, I bet they
would have a much better chance at finding homes for these animals.
Instead
of waiting for the people to go to the shelter, why not go to the people
through the newspapers, and show them what is out there looking for a
home.

Our local newspaper does this - every Sunday it has a listing of
all animals at the shelter and in foster care, with a thumbnail
about each one and a "pet of the week" photo. It's a small town/
small shelter - typically fewer than 20 pets are described.

I think that is the way to tweak interest in a dog or cat. They see a photo
and think it's cute and want to see it then at the shelter. I think it's a
good idea.
