Placing an Ad on srdogs...

A note to rescue agencies and shelters:

Before submitting your ad, please be sure that the dog's health and behavior have been evaluated and that you can recommend the dog for adoption without reservation.

We can accept ads for no more than three dogs from any one agency or shelter at one time. Ad space is reserved for dogs of five years or older.

If you have an "urgent" situation, you may E-mail us with a request for an ad; however, we cannot guarantee that it will be posted in time to be of help.

Please be sure to review the special page we have created for rescue group and shelter workers. It has many suggestions for other methods of advertising and finding a new home for a dog.

How to Submit an Ad:

To submit your ad to srdogs, please send an E-mail to: ad @ srdogs.com (remove spaces in address before sending)

Subject Section of message form (at the top of the form, just below the "To" line): Your City, State Abbreviation -- Dog's Name, Name of Your Rescue Group

It's Best to Include a Photo: A photograph is a decisive factor in getting responses. Please send it as an attachment to your E-mail in jpeg format. A photo that shows the dog's head and facial expression always seems to get the most responses. Please DON'T send us more than one photo; it just slows us down. Select the one you think is the best, and send just that one.

Copy the following format and paste it into your E-mail message form, substituting the information that applies to the dog you wish to advertise.

Begin copying here: We recommend about 100 words for the "History/Personality" section.

Name: Maggie Mix/Breed: Terrier/Beagle mix Sex/Age/Weight: Female, 8 years, 30 lbs. Health: Spayed. Up to date on shots. For additional health information, contact the agency listed below. History/Personality: Maggie is quite simply a bundle of love. She has short-medium reddish-brown hair. She is a mature adult, yet still has spunk and a zest for going places. She loves to ride in the car, go for walks, and then, after a day of activity, curl up on a warm bed by your feet (she's good at that)! She is good with other dogs (but doesn't need other dogs to be happy), cats and older kids (10 and up). She has the most loving, 'come-pet-me' eyes. Of course she's housebroken. A great dog for an easy-going household, or a senior, or just anyone who desires a loyal companion. A nicer four-legged companion would be hard to find. Adoption Fee: $100.00 Agency/Location/Contact info: Second Chance Rescue (Editor's note: website address will be embedded in name, but should be spelled out when submitting ad copy -- e.g., http://www.SecondChancePetRescue.com), Novato, CA. Telephone: (415) 721-1721. E-mail: info@ secondchancerescue.com

If you wish to have information about your agency appear on the srdogs site, please follow these guidellines:

Agency information (50 words or fewer): description of your agency's operations and objectives, website address, telephone, E-mail address. This information will form a "permanent" ad, which will continue to appear on our "Agencies" pages after the dog you have listed is adopted.

End copying here.
