Say: So far we've talked about choosing the right pet for you or your family and how to prepare to bring them home. Now lets talk about where you can adopt a pet.
Say: The infographic on see is attached below (or provide copies) for you to take with you. It will serve to remind you of what we have talked about so far but what I want to focus on right now is how to find a shelter and what you should do while there.
Ask: Can somebody tell me some of the shelters you know about from your area? (Expect answers like the local Humane Society, ASPCA, City Shelter, or animal rescue groups)
Say: Right, those are all good options but don't forget ( insert unmentioned sources).
Say: When you do find a place to adopt from ensure to not blindly pick. Take into account the factors we talked about earlier and then choose a candidate animals to spend some time with to see if they are the right fit. Taking the time to do this at the shelter can help eliminate undue heartache and guilt later.
Say: If you have any questions or are looking for additional resources see Google your local shelter websites or hit up the Humane Society at https://www.humanesociety.org/
Say: Thank you for coming and good luck finding a new pet.
