Why do we require you to become an affiliate?
Our mission is to celebrate and save
animals. Part of saving animals is to prevent the sale of them through
puppy and kitten mills and pet stores that sell animals. We do not allow
these kinds of businesses to host our events, because having an AMN event
would only add to their pockets and the exploitation and overpopulation of
unwanted pets in the U.S.
We do however believe in the right for Americans to choose the breed of
dog or cat they want. More and more, working dogs that are bred for a
specific purpose, such as herding dogs, guide dogs or drug and bomb
sniffing dogs are generally pure bred, and while mutts are becoming widely
used now in working and service arenas, many police departments still like
to employ German Shepherds as their partners because of their intelligence
and inherent skill level and to keep our streets and homes safe. Because
of this, we would never look down upon breeders that give life to these
amazing animals. So when it comes to "reputable" breeders wanting to host
an event, we will look at each applicant on a case by case basis,
thoroughly investigating the practices and reputation of each businesses,
to ensure our mission is not compromised in any way.
Perhaps you're a business that would like
to host an event to promote special products and services. Select an event
that fits well with your theme. Maybe you'd like to help the animals in
your community and invite the shelter to bring some adoptable pets?
By registering your satellite event, you will be verified to the public
and listed on the holiday website relating to your event, as a
registered affiliate. Not only does this lend credibility to your
event, but helps to give it the much needed exposure it deserves to be as
successful as possible! We have several comprehensive affiliate levels
available that includes web and logo design to help you gain as much
exposure as possible.
Also, don't be fooled by counterfeit events! If you see an AMN event being
promoted that does not display the seal of approval, you and everyone else
will know that this event is not approved and supported by AMN. Our legal
department works very hard to enforce our policies, ensuring the integrity
of our program and the success of your event. If you see an AMN event that
is not listed on our site, please notify us as soon as possible.
