EQ: What are the best methods to help an animal get adopted?

• A method that is used on ocassions and is helpful for the animals is to either host or attend an event where the shelter is able to set a table and present the varies animals that are available for adoption.
• Another productive method is to create flyers and/or cards of individual animals available at the shelter and hand them out to the public.

3.  What is the most important source you have used that has helped you come up with an answer to your working EQ?

• The most important source that I have used to help me answer my EQ is "How to promote shelter dogs for adoption." This source is incredible helpful because it give ideas of what to do to inform the public of the dogs that are available. Plus it gives you tips on what to do and what not to do when promoting a shelter dog. Mostly their tips revolve around what attracts a potential adopter and how to ensare them once their attention is caught. Also a couple of the tips is how to make the dogs presentable and how to show them to the public. I love the ideas so much that I will talk to my shelter and see if we will be able to try some of the ideas to help our animals.

4.  Who is your mentor, or where are you volunteering, and how does what you are doing relate to your working EQ?

• I am volunteering at the Upland Animal Shelter and this helps me with my EQ because I have hands on experience of how to interact with visitors and what to say when they want to see an animal.

1. What I plan on doing for my 30 hours is to volunteer at the Animal Shelter in my city and there I plan on working with the animals from cleaning their cages to interacting with them. I believe it is also important to know how the animal acts, that way you will be able to tell the people if it is playful or shy. And to be able to answer any questions they may have about the animal. I will also help the visitors that want to adopt.

2. The way I will be showing my 30 hours will be through pictures of what I am doing and a Log where it displays my hours as well as a signature of my supervisor.

3. By being able to interact with people who are potential adopters I will be able to see what type of approach works for me, I will also be able to observe others who are there and see what they say and do when people are looking at an animal for adoption.
