From Pet Adoption Alerts to Emergency Notifications
GovDelivery Works With Your Specific Needs

Governments use the GovDelivery E-mail Subscription Management system for everything from informing citizens of Pet Adoption opportunities to emergency notification alerts.

Internet Connects Pets with People

Grand Prairie, TX - Children across Grand Prairie, Texas may have received a rescued puppy or kitten this past holiday season thanks to the Prairie Paws Adoption Center's innovative use of e-mail technology to connect people to its "Pets of the Week" website.

"Our Internet efforts are a great success," said Fred Sanderson, Animal Services Manager for Grand Prairie, "we are matching people to animals in need more efficiently than ever before."

Prairie Paw's has sent over 18,000 e-mail notices to residents interested in "Pets of the Week" resulting in over 11,500 visits to the shelter's site from the e-mail notices.
