How does your shelter advertise/market their animals successfully?

[Lorraine]

We now only stick to our own website and people wishing to rescue will find us.

However, before the days of internet then we used to use only free ad papers as there was no other alternative.

I have also tried the free-ads in recent years and had a couple of good homes from people who just didn't have internet access.

We have also tried putting rescue dogs on Preloved, Gum Tree, Viva St, and Ad trader sites online, but truly just gave up when we didn't have one home suitable that converted.

It is also a little different for a rescue to advertise on them as their people are well and truly used to sifting through suitable homes for the dogs. So I say YES - as the procedure for selecting suitable homes will be no different.

As for selling dogs on facebook !!!! Don't think we'd try that with rotties however we do have a facebook page with a lot of friends so they see the dogs activities weekly, but none have converted to homes. Kaiser Therot if you wish to look.
