Saw Buildproof Buddies on 3tv this morning?
Buildproof is so excited to be able to tell people about the Buildproof Buddies program. Here’s a quick recap of what we do:
The Buildproof Buddies program is an active effort to encourage the adoption of pets at animal rescue shelters across the valley.
According to The Humane Society of the United States, 6-8 million pets enter shelters each year while only 3-4 million leave with loving families. Only 18% of family pets are adopted from pet shelters. While over 3 million pets are euthanized each year due to over-population of U.S. animal shelters. Buildproof Buddies’ goal is to reduce, and one day eliminate, pet euthanization due to shelter overpopulation.
What you can do to help:
Simply sign up for a particular week and you will be given email and flyer templates as well as assigned a sweet animal that needs a loving home. Your job, for one week, is to:
1. send the email to everyone you think might be interested in either adopting the pet or donating to the Arizona Friends of Animal Care and Control and encourage them to keep forwarding the email until the animal is adopted
2. post flyers at various pet stores and neighborhoods in your community
If you cannot adopt an animal or make a donation at this time, please forward this information to all of your friends, family, co-workers and fellow pet-lovers. You and your community’s involvement is vital to the lives of these loving animals.
Together we can provide secure homes for our furry friends!

Have a happy and safe 4th of July weekend!
