Yes! We are doing a big event this Saturday called 12 Hours of Christmas. We will be staying open from 9am-9pm (instead of our normal hours of 12p-4p), and all adoptions will be just $12, and each adopter gets a $50 PetSmart gift card and to pick a present from under the tree. This is our first year doing this event, so we'll see, but we feel like we are going to clear out a ton of pets. Fingers crossed!

Just wanted to follow-up on this thread and say our 12 Hours of Christmas event was a huge success! We adopted or fostered out 155 animals in 12 hours. Yay!

We have a campaign we call "Home For The Holidays" where we promote certain animals that are adoption fee waived. We make these flyers in canva and post them on social media and in our lobby. We also have an angel tree with ornaments people can take down to donate, and three local businesses have trees for us too. We've taken donation bins to around 20 local places like breweries and apartment complexes for our "Toys and Treats for Tails" donation drive, where we ask the public to buy from our wishlist. Our wishlist is a pdf printed with a list of what we need as well as a QR code so they can go directly to Amazon to buy for us. Hope this helps!
