Foster Marketing Tips:

• Share their adoption link FAR AND WIDE. Find their individual links here: Cat Links and Dog Links

• MORE and frequent pictures so that their profile is constantly fresh truly ups their adoption potential. It also gives our marketing team fresh material to post. Having them do fun activities over the next week would be GREAT for marketing. Puppuccinos?! Trips to Petsmart!? Showing them in different environments is a really effective way for potential adopters to get to know them. Be vocal that they are adoptable while out with them—you may run into a potential adopter too!

  • Check out Amazon for Adopt Me bandanas or leashes!
