Fostering a dog through an out-of-state shelter, looking for help in getting some local visibility for him?
I am currently fostering a dog through a non-local shelter. They pull at-risk dogs from shelters and facilitate transport from around the country. I have such a sweet guy but have found it is difficult to get him attention locally since he is from an out of state shelter with a tiny online presence. 5k followers VS the SPCA's 90k followers, for example. If he was up on the SPCA's website he'd be scooped up in a week, max. So far I have posted him on local facebook groups and nextdoor. I have made up small fliers to put up around town and did just place one at Dix dog park. He is currently swagged out in ~Adopt Me~ gear when we go on our walks through Dix & around town as well. I figured reddit would be my next step in getting recommendations in getting this guy some more attention :-) ***EDIT for more info! *** I am currently fostering Pinto here in Raleigh through a nationwide shelter, Lost Ball Canine Rescue, that pulls at-risk dogs from around the country. Pinto was originally pulled from Dallas where he was at risk of being euthanized. He is such a positive guy, he became instant BFFs with my current dog Garbanzo. He is estimated to be between 2-4 years old and around 50 pounds. He is great with people and other dogs and I think he would do best in a home with another dog friend! He is currently not great with cats and would do best in a home without them. I will continue training him with my current cats during his time fostered with me. He is up to date on vaccines and was vetted before making his way out to me. No known health issues. He is crate trained, knows how to sit, and we are working on other basic commands. He has already quickly picked up Garbanzo's schedule and commands, and has shown himself to be a very fast learner! Pinto does great on walks, loves to swim, run laps in the back yard with Garbanzo, and LOVES to cuddle in bed at the end of the day. He knows when it is time to play and when it is time to chill. He is such a sweet, loving guy & I th
