Q: Our humane group is hosting a table at a local pet event. We'd love to have your volunteers come with us to help promote the adoption of pet rodents. Could you join us!
A: Thank you so much for inviting us! Never hesitate to contact us about events. We're happy to do our best to be there, but please understand that a lot of times we can't due to our own adoption events and other things that cram up our calendar. Distance can be an issue (we're in Raleigh, NC) since we don't have funding for travel or hotels so it's entirely up to our volunteers to cover any costs. Again, it never hurts to ask, though!
It's wonderful of you to think of us and I'm happy to suggest a few pamphlets and printables you may want to display.
- AAVS offers cruelty free shopping guides for free or nearly so, or you can print it as a .pdf: http://www.aavs.org/shoppingGuide.php
- The Rat Fan Club has printables on rats as pets and rat care. Here's a good basic one: http://ratfanclub.org/report1.html
- AFRMA has coloring pages for kids (I like to use #2 or #7 since they seem the most rat-like or informational, but you can find a ton there! http://www.afrma.org/kidskorner.htm Take a look at the top of the page. There is a great printable info sheet for kids that can be printed on the back side of the coloring pages to get more information into their hands.
Hope this helps! Thanks so much for spreading the word about adopting small animals instead of buying!
