On May 9, 2015 three adoption agencies: Coconino Humane Association, Humane Society of Sedona and Second Chance Center for Animals will bringing cats and dogs for a pet adoption event in Flagstaff. “We get local shops in town (kennels, pet groomers, pet stores) and ask for donations to make raffles. We also get local radio stations involved to get promotion and ads on the radio. The radio stations provide pizza and drinks to get people out here and they do a prize wheel. We’re doing the same thing this year but we are making it even bigger. We are having our own barbecue along with the radio station, as well as an open house for residents to tour.”

People that come to the event are encouraged to adopt a friend of their own. “We give discounts on pet fees to residents who adopt that day since they are saving a life. We give them 1/2 off their nonrefundable pet fee which is a $150 discount. But we do only do it for the event.”
