A few weeks ago, Tractor Supply Co. Crestview invited us to join them for their National Animal Days Event on May 30th.
We hadn't done a Tractor Supply event in years, mostly because our adoption events outgrew their space and we shifted our focus to larger venues. But Tractor Supply has been good to us, so we said, "Okay, we'll give it a shot."
(And quietly scheduled a backup event in case it was a bust.)
(And Tractor Supply quietly said, "Hold my feed bucket.")
We showed up at 9am with a small selection of dogs. By 11am we were sending out for more. By 1pm... even more.
At the end of the day, Tractor Supply helped us find homes for 8-9 of the 14 dogs who attended (depending on your accounting method). Not bad for a little event we almost didn't do.
Visitors were SO nice, and SO many stopped to show us pictures of dogs they had adopted from us over the years.
The staff was wonderful too, making sure we had everything we needed all day long.
Thank you, Tractor Supply Crestview, for such a great day.
Together, we made room for more.
