Grant Submission Photo Tips & Tricks

 

Tips & Tricks

1. Encourage your pets to look right into the camera to show off their eyes and personality

    •  Try holding a treat or toy next to your camera to get their attention

2. Pets photograph best in bright, natural light

    •  If taking a photo indoors, try putting your pet by a window or turn on a few extra lights (even during the day!)

3. Portraits of pets sitting, standing, or lying down are usually the easiest and most successful photos

    •  “Action shots” are often blurry and take a lot of extra time to get “just right”

4. Share photos just as they come out of your camera or phone

    •  Editing photos, changing sizes, or creating collages limits how they can be used on different social media sites

CLOSED Apply For a Pet Pantry Grant

APPLICATIONS CLOSED MARCH 13, 2021

COVID-19 is affecting communities across the country. People are struggling to provide the essentials for their pets (food, medication, kitty litter, grooming supplies, etc.), but we know that does not mean they love their pets any less. Pet pantries have become a vital lifeline for many pet owners and help organizations like yours reduce the population of animals in shelters by assisting pet owners before they resort to giving up their companion animals. That’s why we’ve been raising money to help you in your efforts to save animals during this critical time.

At the end of 2020 we got together with our friends at Purina, Chewy, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka to raise money so we could help animal welfare organizations do even more great work. Our generous supporters donated so that we could provide you with grants to enrich or start a pet pantry program. The folks at Purina, Chewy, and Tito’s were kind enough to match the donations received up to $10,000 each.

Now we want to extend those funds to you, so you can help the pets in your community. We will provide cash, product, and gift card grants to organizations that apply through the application link below.

Thank you to our compassionate friends at Purina, Chewy, and Tito’s Handmade Vodka for their part in making this grant possible!

Please read the rules and application dates carefully:

Grant Process

Animal Welfare Organizations will have two weeks to complete their initial grant application. Once the application period closes Adopt-a-Pet.com and sponsors will review all eligible applications and choose a small pool of finalists.

All finalists will receive a cash grant (amount will be disclosed to finalists) to enrich or start a pet pantry for their organization. Adopt-a-Pet.com will contact all finalists with the amount they will receive and with a request for additional information. We may request images and/or have follow-up questions. Finalists who send in the requested info will be eligible for a larger grant worth $20,000. Two organizations will receive the larger $20,000 grant that will consist of product, gift cards, and additional monetary funds.

Giving Tuesday Ideas that Save Animals

Thanksgiving flew by, Black Friday felt like a split second, and Cyber Monday was over in the blink of an eye. The end of the year is officially here and now that we know exactly what we’re grateful for and spent a bunch on gifts for our loved ones, Giving Tuesday is here to remind us to also help others. Today is all about giving and doing something for those in need.

There are plenty of ways you can show your philanthropic side – and many causes you can support, though we’re especially fond of those that help homeless animals. A lot of people choose to donate to their favorite non-profit, but there are a lot of other ways you can give back. No matter how you choose to participate, your kind acts make a difference.

We’ve put together simple ways you can show up on Giving Tuesday (some of which don’t even require spending any money).

 Share a Pet


Imagine what a gift it would be to help a pet find a forever home for the holidays! Head to Adopt-a-Pet.com, search adoptable pets in your area, find one you’d like to share, and click the Facebook or Twitter icon in the middle of the page to post to your social media. You can also screenshot a pet photo and share to Instagram or IG stories. This year your share will do more than help advertise a specific pet, your quick upload could provide a shelter or rescue with much needed moolah! We’ve teamed up with our sister brand Wisdom Panel for a Giving Tuesday Share-a-Thon. All you have to do is tag @adoptapetcom and @wisdompanel when you share a pet. The Wisdom Panel team will pick one winner at random and donate $5,000 to the organization caring for the pet they shared. (Bonus: the winner will also get a free pet DNA test). Start searching for pets to share here.

 Adopt or Foster a Pet

There are little things more rewarding than saving a life, and the cute faces and snuggles pets provide certainly are an easy sell. If you have the money and time to take in a companion animal, adopting and/or fostering will certainly make a difference on an individual level. Signing up to foster also relieves some of the stress animals go through when they’re in a shelter environment and allows them to relax while they wait for their forever homes. Every adopted or fostered pet also helps shelters and rescues open up space for more pets in need.

 Donate


Animal welfare organizations can always benefit from donations, whether it’s a monetary contribution or in-kind donations such as towels, blankets, and newspapers, shelters and rescues could use your help. You can find your favorite organization’s donate page on their website or search for local shelters near you here and call ahead to ask what products they may need. If you’re donating specific items you can coordinate drop off to a facility or purchase products through an organization’s Wish List!

Lending a helping hand doesn’t have to be time consuming or difficult! With these 3 simple ideas, you’ll be making the world a better place for homeless pets sooner than you thought was possible.
