Puppy love Campaign Social Media Toolkit

Thank you for all you do to support Dogs for Better Lives! In this toolkit, we’re providing you resources that will make it super easy for you to help connect more people to Dogs for Better Lives and to raise awareness of our Puppy Love campaign. 

Puppy Love Month Goals

  • Recruit people to become volunteer Puppy Raisers with Dogs for Better Lives.

  • Encourage people to join The Pack, our group of monthly donors, who get a behind-the-scenes look at our puppies and dogs in training each month.

Campaign Activities

  • Sharing more about what’s involved, celebrating our current Raisers, and showing how Puppy Raisers impact our clients’ lives – making independence possible.

  • DBL to post approximately 2 posts per week focused on Puppy Love Month on social media

  • Launch new social media ads focused on milestones.

Background:

February is a month all about L-O-V-E, and who doesn’t love puppies? We’ve combined the two themes to raise awareness all month long about our Puppy Raiser volunteer opportunity, and to highlight all that goes into these future life-changing Service Dogs. It takes a village, and lots of investment! 

The biggest thing you can do to help is to share our social media posts on Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin and Twitter with your own network throughout the month of February.
