In our limited experience so far in fostering the process feels very inefficient. It would seem very worthwhile for every animal group to put videos of their dogs on the sites as well as tons of updated information and stories about the dog so people can become attached to the dogs and cats over the internet. The more information the better. We can see this because every time there is a high profile cruelty case there are 1000 people trying to adopt the animal. If organizations wrote about the dogs’ issues, what they have gone through, and how they have changed since being in the foster home we can’t help but think cats and dogs would be placed faster.
We came across a story recently of a dog that was posted online and was adopted within seconds and thought what a great piece of inspiration for rescue groups. Good marketing and a person looking for this type of dog and bingo! The more information the better, as it allows for this type of connection to be fostered between a person and a dog.
