Our family loves animals. We have two dogs and two cats of our own and would have more if we had more space. We are the first ones to try to help a lost animal and we even feed the neighborhood stray cats in the winter. Our personal dream is to open a no kill shelter. That’s why when I was asked to share the Shelter Pet Project with my readers, I jumped at the chance.
The Shelter Pet Project (SPP) campaign is aimed at increasing the rate of shelter pet adoption in the US by dispelling myths about these lovable animals – which keep many from finding homes. They are looking to give shelter pets an image makeover, letting the 17 million people who plan on getting a companion animal this year know that shelters should be the first and best place to find them.
This new campaign, sponsored by The Humane Society of the United States, Maddie’s Fund, and the Ad Council, is funny and lighthearted. Check out the talking dog PSA here:
In addition, the interactive Shelter Pet Project website has some great adoption resources that you can check out, like a Pet Personals matching questionnaire and e-cards to send to friends and family. www.shelterpetproject.org
