Registration for the Get ‘em Home Challenge has begun! Maddie’s Fund is hosting a contest over a 3-month period, October 1 to December 31 2018, to get dogs and cats adopted who have been in the shelter for over 30 days. We’re looking for creative approaches to getting dogs and cats into homes and engaging your volunteers, staff and community. Any dog or cat adoption organization with a physical shelter can register.
We have more than $50,000 in grants up for grabs for shelters in the United States, which will be awarded after the end of the Challenge. You have from now until September 17, 2018 to register. There’s a sample registration survey on the Challenge webpage so that you can check out what you need to do to register.
Join the Get ‘Em Home Challenge group here in the forum to make sure you learn about opportunities related to the Challenge. We’ll be hosting regular Get ‘Em Home Huddles where a brief presentation (5 minutes) will be followed by time for Q&A - the first session will be Thursday, August 30 at noon PT.
Register now and let’s Get ‘Em Home!
