Our Objectives

• Inform the community about what is happening with
  this population of animals.
• Promote adoptions with Poster Exhibit and a
  Carnival.
• Endorse consciousness about pets in society.
• Tell the location of some NWA shelters.

4
Tasks Completed

• Each team member contacted as many local shelters
  as possible
• Photographed animals at shelters
• Learned information about each individual shelter
• Nationwide data collected on Internet
• Promoted Annual Howl-o-Ween Carnival
• Displayed poster at NWACC to promote local
  animals available for adoption

5
Pet Overpopulation

• Every year millions of animals are needlessly
  disposed of, simply because there are not enough
  homes for them all
• In seven years, one female cat and her offspring
  can theoretically produce 420,000 cats
• In six years, one female dog and her offspring
  can theoretically produce 67,000 dogs
