Animal Shelter event idea for Thanksgiving

Home For the Holidays : Thanksgiving Edition

This event would carry about more like a program. Encourage those from the community to take home a dog or cat, temporarily (hopefully some will fall in love and keep them forever) so that the animals don't spend the long holiday weekend alone in the shelter. This would be a great way to get people involved and learn more about the shelter as well as get more volunteers and fosters signed up. You can also turn this into an event where there are photo ops, a food drive, food trucks, crafts, vendors, and a sign up to take an animal home for the holidays.
