Why is Planet Dog taking on a campaign? Planet Dog is the leader in the pet industry and
with that leadership comes the responsibility to tackle the most pressing issue affecting
dogs and cats everywhere.
How is this program funded? Is it grant-based? The initial funding is an investment from
Planet Dog in the interest of supporting homeless animals across the country. Our goal
is for the program to become self-sustaining through the eventual sale of adopt.
promotional materials.
Is this campaign driven by Planet Dog or the Planet Dog Foundation? The adopt.
campaign is a Planet Dog initiative. It is a national public service campaign to promote and
generate awareness about pet adoption and educate the public about the pressing issue
of homeless animals.
Does this mean that PDF now supports shelters financially? No. The mission of the
Planet Dog Foundation has not changed in any way.
What is The HSUS? Why are we working with them? The Humane Society of the United
States is the national leader in promoting and facilitating animal welfare and pet
adoption. Local humane societies around the country operate independently, though The
HSUS provides guidance, promotes standards, and offers assistance to shelters, while fighting against animal cruelty and promoting the human-animal bond. Because The
HSUS is the most respected and effective animal welfare organization in the world, we
are proud to be sponsoring their Shelter Partners Program to expand the reach of the
adopt campaign. To learn more, visit www.hsus.org or www.animalsheltering.org
Do I have to be a Planet Dog customer in order to get an Adoption Event Display? Yes.
Please note that we no longer have a minimum order amount - making it easier for smaller
stores to become PDOG Retailers. To locate a Sales Representative in your area click here.
How do I become an adoption advocate? To be included in the program, PDOG
Retailers must hold regular adoption events in their store or work with their local shelter
to help facilitate pet adoption. We will also help interested retailers to launch a new
program. Click here to read more.
What if I hold adoption events at multiple store locations? Planet Dog will provide you one adoption event display per store.
What if I lose or damage any part of my adoption event display? Your Adoption Event
Display is intended to be used as a display at adoption events held at your store. If they
become worn, damaged or lost, you may purchase replacements from Planet Dog.
How much do the replacement products cost?
The replacement Orbee-Tuff adopt. Ball is $5.00
The replacement Orbee-Tuff adopt. Mouse is $2.50
The WOOF, MEOW and adopt. Stickers are $1.50 each
The 8.5 x 11 sign is $1.00
* Replacement products are not to be sold in stores or at the event., but to show people
the components of the Kiss me. I’m adopted. Kits Thank you.
Can we use your adopt. images and artwork in our advertising for in-store adopt events?
What about on our store’s website? All of the images for the adopt campaign are available
on our website for download. We have other collateral available in the Adoption Event
Display to provide a consistent look. We will work with any retailer to provide them
appropriate materials to support the program.
What if there are questions or concerns from breeders? Planet Dog does not discriminate
against any dog- we love them all! We recognize that specific breeds have a special place
and make wonderful pets. Many PDOGGERS have purebred dogs, and we often fund
specially bred dogs through our foundation. However, the enormous problem of unwanted
animals facing euthanasia is critical, and we want to do all we can to help solve this problem
and give every pet a forever home.
What if someone adopts a dog and later returns the dog because the adoption is not
working out? We do not have the resources to track every adoption that we reward with a
Kiss Me Kit. We would not expect someone to return their Kiss Me kit if they return the
animal. It is our hope that this person would consider adopting again.
Can animal shelters and rescue groups get an Adoption Event Display? We recognize that
rescue groups play a critical role in finding homes for homeless pets. If they submit an
email to adoptteam@planetdog.com, we will provide an Adoption Event Display to
reputable rescue groups to use uring their adoption events. We also reward people
who adopt from a rescue group with a Kiss me, I’m adopted. Kit.
I am an international customer. Do you have a kit for international customers? We
understand that pet overpopulation is a global concern, but at this time, we do not have
the distribution infrastructure to provide the Adoption Event Displays or Kiss me Kits to
customers outside of the United States.
