Attachment shared in response to discussion thread, "Large Dog Adoptions"

"My organization's main marketing strategy for our large adult dogs is to be "annoying" about them in our marketing. We had a 90-pound Akita mix with a bite history that we would promote like crazy. She was in every newsletter and brochure, and when she got adopted, many silent followers engaged with our post. We also have a partnership with a nearby correctional facility that provides our dogs with an 8-week obedience program that makes our large dogs a lot more adoptable. My other suggestion would be to use a long stay checklist. I have attached the one that I reference."
