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.
