Many pet stores work with rescues; it's good for their business to have pets for adoption in their stores. Look for local fairs, community events and even mall shows and contact the organizers. Showcasing pets for adoption builds goodwill and attracts customers. This is something many event organizers will be happy to host and if you are a recognized non-profit, chances are you can get the space fees reduced or waived.
