End Petlessness
Shelter marketing follows a standard format: sad animals in black and white. That’s not fair to shelter pets who are just as joyful as those from a breeder. So we started an optimistic movement, shifting the message to the magnificence that all pets bring to people’s lives. The Oregon Humane Society jumped to a nation-leading 98% adoption rate and 11,000+ annual adoptions.
