Last week someone twittered about this Purina sponsored page: Twitter a Critter. You can hardly tell Purina sponsors it, their logo is very small - and that's because the page isn't about them, it's about helping dogs and cats who need homes. Forever homes. I love the design of the page (site)... with lots of dogs and cats and the Adoptapet.com logo at the top. The addition of a bunch of celebrities is nice, I guess. But, I don't need celebrities to entice me to donate to shelters on behalf of stray dogs and cats. In fact, I would be more impressed if the celebrites had short videos talking about a stray dog or cat they'd rescued. Or, how they're helping the site, other than just "being" there. When I clicked over to the Twitter a Critter page, I was worried about filling out the form to be "a life- saving hero RIGHT NOW!" I did it, though. Complete with my current zip code. And now, I know how many beautiful dogs and cats are available for adoption right here in my hometown. And I feel really sad that I cannot adopt them. Next, I added my up and coming zip code (CO) and there are so many beautiful pets available there, that it's overwhelming. Still, I think this will be a good option for us when we actually get to CO. Mind you, there are puppies, too! I'm torn between a full grown dog and a puppy. I'd consider one of each, but I doubt the Wabby would tolerate a puppy. I don't want to stress her out. The trip cross-country will be stressful enough! Anyway, you can actually "twitter a critter"... which means, by visiting the site and looking at the pets that are available, you can click a link on a particular pet page, and twitter that pet's status to share with all your tweeps. And, help that pet get adopted. So, even if you can't adopt a pet today, you can twitter a critter and introduce a pet to a potential new forever home using Twitter. Go on - try it, I know you want to. |
