Creative Live Auction Idea: How to Successfully Sell a Puppy by Sherry Truhlar
I love dogs. And I’m not alone — my town of Alexandra, VA is one of the United State’s friendliest dog towns. Since there are lots of dog lovers in this part of the world, each year I usually sell one or two donated puppies as part of a live benefit auction.
Selling a puppy in a live auction makes the event memorable and typically (in D.C.) brings a $2,000 to $5,000 sale. Most bidders respond to the animal positively and are eager to pet the little guy while inquiring about its age, vaccinations, breed, etc.
Be sure that you have the paperwork proving the vaccinations were done at the appropriate time are furnished by the veterinarian administering the shots. In the event the winning bidder is from out of state, it is necessary to show proof of Rabies vaccination. So keep all puppy veterinary paperwork together in a file that can be given to the winning bidder to make the exchange a seamless process.
To make the sale a positive experience for human and creature, here are some tips.
1. Select the right breed
Choose a popular breed such as Retrievers, German Shepherds, Poodles and Yorkshire Terriers. If you’re not sure, be sure to visit http://www.akc.org to check out the latest favorites. Be sure to avoid exotics or any breed with negative press. I adore pit bulls and bull terriers, but I don’t suggest selling either in a fund raising auction because of the negative press they’ve received.
Similarly, the odds of selling an “extra-large” dog (e.g. Great Dane or Mastiff) will appeal to fewer auction guests. Mixed breeds can be successfully sold, especially if it combines two popular breeds (i.e. cockapoo or labradoodle).
2. Be sure that the puppy’s temperament is calm.
If you have an option, select one of the least high-strung puppies of the litter. As adorable as that puppy is when its squirming in its pen, we don’t want a puppy squirming in a volunteer’s arms during the silent auction. Calm, quiet dogs show best and will sell better.
3. Sell the animal early in the live auction.
For the puppy’s sake, have the animal inside the live auction room for a minimum length of time. Noise can be hard on those little ears!
4. Sell only one animal per live auction.
Keep it memorable by selling only one.
5. Know that some national groups don’t agree with the sale of live animals at a gala.
The official position of the Humane Society is that animals should be prohibited from being sold at auction. Animal rights groups have a fear (perhaps valid) that the dog will go into a home where it won’t get good care. Consider ways you can protect the animal to ensure it goes into a great home. Every creature deserves TLC.
