Marketing and Adoption
There is no right or wrong way to help your foster find their forever family, but check out our handy guide for some tips from seasoned fosters. (Have tips of your own? Email them to marketing@friendsofmadacc.org!)
Remember - MADACC does not allow for the use of any aversive tools (prong collars, choke collars, sprays, air horns, etc.) in their training. If you have questions about training a behavior using positive reinforcement, please reach out to the Facebook group or contact Gabrielle or Karen.
