They Did It: Dog Mailboxes Keep Kennels Organized
Who:
Albuquerque, NM
Did What:
The lucky dogs at Animal Humane New Mexico are constantly getting special deliveries—that’s because each kennel is equipped with a mailbox! The eye-catching mailboxes make things clutter-free and help shelter staff easily locate the proper gear specific to each animal’s needs, including harness, leash, paperwork, and any other special items.
A great conversation starter for visitors, the mailboxes also send out positive vibes about the agency that say, this is a fun place where each animal is important and well cared for.
Now You Try It:
If you’d like to give this idea a try, the agency recommends the following ideas:
- If the animal is on a special diet, appropriate treats used for training can be placed in the mailbox
- Consider buying mailboxes in bulk from a hardware store
- The container you use doesn’t have to be a mailbox. Any durable container that can be attached to the outside of a kennel would work
