If you’re taking on social media in the role of a content writer and representing the pets in your organization’s care – you need to acknowledge this huge responsibility and hold yourself accountable for the way you communicate with your audience.
As we all know, social media can be a powerful tool used to help your organization reach a broad audience of rescue lovers and connect pets with potential adopters. We also know every tool can be a weapon if you hold it right… in this three part discussion, I’ll address common pitfalls when writing pet promotions and share tips to ensure your passion for pets doesn’t cross the line into potentially harmful territory.
When promoting shelter pets on social media, it’s crucial to strike the right balance between emotional appeal and objective focus. By leaning too heavily on passion and emotion, you inadvertently create an overprotective image that sabotages relationships with your supporters and hinders the chances of pets being placed into homes.
We’ll go beyond the typical “how to write positive bios,” focusing on “why you” – and practicing self awareness when creating content.
By the end, you’ll be able to recognize why you are potentially harming your social media reputation, contributing to length of stay and significantly reducing the chances for pets to be placed into homes.
It's essential to strike the right balance between emotion and logic in your social media captions. We'll expand on the "8 ways you're unintentionally saying don't adopt this pet" and how to use the emotional-logical framework instead.
To create compelling and engaging social media posts for adoptable pets that capture attention, provide value, and drive action you need to tailor content to satisfy clearly defined objectives.
Crafting an effective social media post that keeps your organization's mission front and center requires a call to action that encourages audiences to learn more about a featured pet but also, visit your website to explore all other pets available for adoption!

All of our programs come with content kits... but unlike any other marketing tool, we also provide the human resources to implement these programs for your already over-extended team.
We are passionate about helping all shelter pets move into homes - but most especially those who have been in shelters the longest or have special needs. We have a special place in our hearts for big, boxy-headed dogs, seniors, and pets with medical issues.
Knowing these pets often have a harder time getting adopted because they are overlooked by their less in need friends, we focus on creating innovative marketing programs that "Spotlight" these pets making sure they get extra social media love, special treatment and the best opportunity to reach their future foster and/or adoptive families.
Pet welfare organizations are nothing without the very supportive teams constantly giving more of themselves to the pets in need than they (technically) have to. We love creating opportunities for organizations to provide them with free goodies and special offers as a token of appreciation for all they do.
