Animal Welfare Professionals

Hi all! We are in the process of trying to re-do our Chameleon kennel cards. We would love to see examples from other shelters to use as inspiration. Our current kennel cards are very busy and cluttered and were more designed for staff use than to get the animal adopted. We are also looking for dual-language options as there are a lot of Spanish speakers in our community. Any ideas would help!

Be sure your card does not show blank fields. For instance if it's unknown if a dog is good with cats and the field is blank that field label shouldn't be on the kennel card.  Saves space and reduces questions and concerns.

Here is a screenshot of what we have.  We don't do adoptions so the information is more for our staff and clients searching for lost pets.
