The Humane Society of the United States's Adopters Welcome Manual

Adopters Welcome highlights an approach to adoptions that embraces community members, encourages them to adopt, and helps them and their pets succeed. The approach also acknowledges the connection among all local adoption agencies and the impact adoptions, or lack of adoptions, can have on all of the animals in a community.

Adopters Welcome builds on new perspectives, adoption related research and effective strategies currently in practice. Adoption agencies of all types and sizes are invited to utilize the insights and tools in this manual to find, engage and support more adopters in your communities.
