You should totally offer your photography skills to the Sheltie Rescue group! 🙂 I will say that I approached multiple organizations and some were not really interested at all. I think that groups who are smart about marketing their animals would be happy to have the help… as well as those with a lot of animals looking for homes. When they have so many, it’s probably hard to find the time to do individual photo shoots when there are so many other things to be done.

I had a sore face from smiling all the way through it … I don’t think I smile enough!

Yes, marketing and education (eg spay, neuter, adopt don’t shop), it would be great if education could be marketed in an entertaining way. Then perhaps there wouldn’t be a need for so much marketing.

So agree with you on Edie’s video series. This particular video was my favorite one too!

Really awesome piece AJ!

It was very kind of you to mention Daisy and me. I am actually extremely grateful you mentioned AJ’s post. I have been bogged down with some personal stuff and have been falling behind on my reading lately. I never would have seen it if not for you mentioning it.

I loved it! I am also inspired by AJ’s decision to offer to help. I have been thinking about doing the same thing for my Sheltie Rescue Group. I wonder if they would be interested?

I can only say thank you.

My contribution? Secondhand Hounds. They are a rescue group here in Minnesota and I think they have done an excellent job marketing their dogs and their rescue.

We don’t have any Petland stores here in our area, but I wouldn’t shop there if we did.

I think it’s important that we start moving our community of animal-loving people around to thinking and acting strategically instead of making decisions with our emotions. We are good people, yes. We just need to start making some better strategic moves to achieve our goals. Yay!!!!

I’m not sure how the director uses it. But it would be great if it could be licensed to shelters to use locally. It would probably get a lot of attention for adoption.

I mean it just seems logical to me that if they’ve got too many black animals (because allegedly they don’t stand out in the crowd), why not do something with them to help them stand out? I do realize I’m generalizing, but in this case, marketing is EVERYTHING.

And I agree with Jan, there should be a prerequisite course.

Classes in marketing should be required for anyone running a shelter. If advertising can get people to eat Big Macs, it can get them to do anything. 🙂
