VOLUNTEER TRAINING SERIES ON ENGAGING WITH SOCIAL
MEDIA
SOMETHING NEW!
This week we’re starting a short series of informational posts to give you some ideas for engaging with the
posts on our main social media pages. There’s always room for us to improve engagement on social media, and
more engagement means having our pets seen by more people and hopefully, more adoptions.
You probably know that the more people interact with a post by liking, commenting on, and sharing it, the more
people the platform will show it to. This is especially important during the first 30 minutes after a post goes
live.
For example, the post “Adopt Clyde” on May 29th was shared and interacted with quite a bit (183 interactions),
and you can see the number of people it reached was almost 2,500!
The “Adopt Simba” post on June 3rd was only interacted with 60 times so it was only shown to 497 people
What this means is that if we work together, we can get our pets seen by WAY more people, leading to more
pets going home, faster!

For the week ending June 8, 2021
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be giving you tips on easy ways to engage with our main page posts every
week. We hope you will test them out on posts about your favorite PAW adoptables!
Thanks to Liza Malnik for putting this together for us. She is taking the course through Maddie’s Fund and
sharing with the group. If you have questions for Liza about the course, I’m sure you will be able to find her on
PAW’s social media pages.
CRITICAL NEED OF FOSTER HOMES
MARTI is a 3-year-old, 68-pound Labrador Retriever
mix. Marti recently had a seizure at the kennel, she is
doing well, however would do better in a home setting.
Please, just for a little while until she gets over the hump
with the seizures. She is a happy sweet girl who would
love nothing more to stay by your side and shower you
with doggie kisses. Her condition has stabilized, and she
is on meds to control the seizures. She would not do well
in an apartment. If you would be interested in fostering
MARTI, please contact Tracy Crotty at
mtetm@yahoo.com

For the week ending June 8, 2021
BLUE is 5-year-old, 65-pound Lab. He us still
new to PAW, so we are still learning about him.
He is very lovable! Unfortunately, he and his
sister, Red, were surrendered to a rural shelter so
we need to find a new home with someone who
will give him unconditional love forever! If you
are interested in fostering BLUE until his forever
family is found, please contact Dave Campbell
at dog-coordinator@paw-rescue.org.
MOOSE is a sweet energetic boy. We believe he is a
German shepherd mix. He is 2 years old and weighs 64
pounds. He shows a lot of enthusiasm when he meets
people and appears to be good with other dogs. He has a
great fondness for sticks. We have recently discovered
that Moose will not do well with cats. Moose also
appears to want to give chase to cars that drive by so his
new family will need to work with him on that. He
would make a great companion for someone who lives an
active lifestyle. If you would be interested in fostering
MOOSE, please contact Tracy Crotty at
mtetm@yahoo.com

For the week ending June 8, 2021
BROWNIE is a 5-year old, 35 lb., lab/beagle
mix (or possibly whippet?) who has just arrived
from Puerto Rico. We are still getting to know
him and will update once we have more
information. If you are interested in fostering
BROWNIE, please contact Dave Campbell
at dog-coordinator@paw-rescue.org.
NICO is a 3-year-old, 67-pound German Shepard/
Labrador Retriever mix. Nico has just completed a
training course for reactive dogs. We learned that Nico
is not really a reactive dog at all. When he sees another
dog on a leash, he will pull but we have seen that he can
be trained not to do that. You will need to keep up his
training in that regard to keep a more peaceful leash dog.
He has to be an only dog in the house, he doesn’t like
dogs close enough to sniff him. No cats and we
recommend against children under 10 years. But Nico
has lots of upside. He is really charming and smart; he
likes to learn. If you fit into Nico’s categories, give him
a shot. You won’t regret it. If you would be interested in
fostering NICO, please contact Tracy Crotty at
mtetm@yahoo.com

For the week ending June 8, 2021
GUS is a 2-year-old, 80-pound, Great Dane
mix. He is quite affectionate and loves to be
around people! He does need to work on his leash
manners but is willing to learn! He is
housetrained, having come from a home
previously. Gus does not do well with other dogs
so he will need to go to a home without another
dog (or cat). No dog parks for Gus. A nice
backyard would be great for Gus, or at least
somewhere for him to be able to walk without
having to worry about being around other pups. If
you are interested in fostering GUS, please
contact Dave Campbell at dog-coordinator@paw-
rescue.org.
QUEEN - Hi! I’m Queen, the sweetest pittie around!
I’m 2 years old and 48 pounds of love! Although I'm 2, I
still act like a puppy! I have a lot of energy, looooove to
play with doggy friends (and don't always take "no" for
an answer from other dogs; I don't get why they don't
always want to play- just like meee!) and am still
working on my house manners. Sometimes you just have
to chew on things! I also really enjoy playing with
humans and haven't yet learned that they don't always
like me to play with my teeth... apparently, they think it
hurts. Bummer! For this reason, I'd do best in a home
with kids over the age of 12. If you are interested in
fostering QUEEN, please contact Dave Campbell at dog-
coordinator@paw-rescue.org.

For the week ending June 8, 2021
SIMBA is a 1½ year old, 57 pound, Husky
mix. He is fully vaccinated and neutered, and
very sweet with people and other dogs. He wants
to play, play, play! His previous shelter notes that
he is very affectionate; loves attention and to be
petted. Do you have room in your home for this
lovely young guy? If you are interested in
fostering SIMBA, please contact Dave Campbell
at dog-coordinator@paw-rescue.org.
ROCKY is a handsome 4-year-old treeing walker
coonhound. Rocky is house trained. Maybe seeing his
video will want you to give him a PAW foster try. Here
is Rocky Boy the Hound: Petstablished | Manage your
Animal Welfare Organization (AWO) with our easy-to-
use software. If you are interested in fostering
ROCKY, please contact Dave Campbell at dog-
coordinator@paw-rescue.org.
AVON BARKSDALE (AKA Piggy due
to his pink nose). Piggy is one of the happiest,
goofiest, and most loving dogs we have ever
met. This handsome 3 year old boy loves people
and treats everyone like his best friend. He loves
walks and playing, but his favorite pastime is
sleeping...he's also a great pillow! Piggy is very
well house-trained, and goes potty immediately
when outside. He was born with hearing only in
his right ear, so it takes him a little longer to
figure out where sounds and voices are coming
from. Piggy does not do well with most other
dogs so we are looking for a home where he'd be
the only one. If you are interested in fostering
AVON BARKSDALE, please contact Dave
Campbell at dog-coordinator@paw-rescue.org.

CY – If you are looking for a sweet, loving, adorable
new family member, look no further... Cy is the complete
package! He is a handsome chocolate brown Labrador
Retriever. He loves to give hugs and kisses and just hang
out with you resting his head on your arm or lap. He is
easy to walk and appears to be good with people and
other dogs. Cy is 4 years old and weighs about 50lb. If
you would be interested in fostering CY, please contact
Tracy Crotty at mtetm@yahoo.com.
OAKLEY is a 1-year-old 63-pound
Chocolate Labrador Retriever mix. How can you
not fall in love with his cute little face? He has a
lot to learn, but he can melt your heart with his
puppy eyes and very sweet and affectionate
personality. He likes to be around his people and
will sit/lean against your legs when he is next to
you. He does have some energy but is a great
couch cuddler once he's calmed down. He also
seems pretty much potty trained and is very well
behaved in his crate. He's very food motivated so
that's very helpful with training him. He will
play fetch for hours if you let him. He's a good
boy and would make an excellent jogging
buddy/adventure companion. After a fun-filled
day of play, he likes to curl up on the couch for a
good cuddle (or sometimes try to sit on top of you
to be as close as possible or nibble your ears). If
you would be interested in fostering OAKLEY,
please contact Tracy Crotty at
mtetm@yahoo.com.
