Ariana Spate joins Anitha to talk about how she uses social media to help dogs in shelters find homes. Ariana partners with shelters to give overlooked dogs a break from their shelter life and a chance to be seen as who they truly are. She takes these dogs on outings, allows them to decompress and shares videos and photos so potential adopters can see the true nature of these dogs.
Ariana shares stories of some of the transformations she has witnessed, such as dogs who bark and bark inside a shelter but are so calm and quiet once they are outside, or dogs who seem withdrawn in a cage and become cuddle bugs once they can relax.
Such incredible and worthwhile work.
