I am trying to find a good home for my female papillon. I am making a flyer to hang up in gas stations. Does it look good?
JUMPER NEEDS A GOOD HOME!
“Jumper is a 5 year old red and white Papillon. She is very sweet and is looking for a forever pet or performance home. She is housebroke, started on obedience, and started on agility training. She is from show bloodlines and her sire is an AKC champion. I would like her to go to a home that will show her in obedience or agility, but a pet home is fine. I would love for a junior to own her as she loves working for kids. She will be sold with limited registration and must be spayed.”

You might want to add on why you are selling her. People might hold back calling you if you don’t because they might think she’s destructive or something. f it is a bad reason it must still be put on there and they must be aware of it otherwise when they realise she may end up abandoned.
I tend to put both landline and mobile numbers on ads like this, and maybe even an address. An email works great because the main reason people hold off calling is because they are worried that once they have spoke to you that they might realise the dogs not for them and they won’t know how to say no. So an email works well because they find it easier to say no or just put ‘thanks’ in an email then stop emailing. And It looks more proffessional to put lots of methods of contacting. Plus, if you only put one method, if they can’t get through to you once or twice they may gove up.
I would say it looks great, maybe put a pic of the pup? Are you selling her? if so, make sure you put the price of people will ring up thinking she is a free dog. If you are charging, toss in a lead and collar or some toys or a basket or something you have of hers but won’t need. That will make it look better.
Ok, hope I helped and hope she finds a good home!
I would have her spayed before she went to another home. A limited registration will not prevent her from being bred, it’ll just prevent her litter from being registered. It looks okay otherwise. I hope that you carefully screen people who want to have her. Paps are fun dogs. I just love the breed.
I would not rehome a dog like this without the brede rescue – they will find her a proper home, screen the adopters, and follow up with them.
Toy dogs are hot property, and you could easily find her being resold to the highest bidder on the internet the next day…You’re better off contacting a small breed rescue, or Papillon Rescue, and having them do it.http://pap911.rescuegroups.org/http://www.paphaven.org/http://www.pcarescuetrust.org/
Why in gas stations? I would post them in vets’ offices instead.
Looks good! make shore there is a picture
you really should have her SPAYED before you rehome her!!!.. don’t expect many good homes to come along with a flyer at the gas station.. you may have to consider advertisement in the paper.. of couse screen and interview anyone very carefully..
Other than that the add looks good..I would check with the people at the training center you do agility with.. they may know of several good people intresed in adopting her..
What about her breeder? Most good breeders require you contact them if you are no longer able to keep the dog.. and will take the dog back, or be involved with her placment…
Using a Pap resuce refferal is also a good source for approved interviewed homes.. but she would have to be spayed first. they may require the adoption fee payable to them.. vs you charging a sale price for her..
Good luck..
