Bronco’s Story

When Bronco was at Palo Alto Animal Services (PAAS) for

4 months, the staff made one Facebook post about him

which rapidly disappeared from view. That was the extent

of the social media activity for him. He was essentially

invisible to the outside world.

His adoptable pet profile read like that thousands of other

shelter dogs -- “Bronco is a neutered male pit bull mix

about a year old. He was found as a stray….”

accompanied by an ordinary-at-best intake photo taken by

the Animal Control Officer.

This, we believe, is the typical amount of marketing most

shelter pets get, and is what inspired the development of

AdoptMeApp.

Epilogue: We pulled him from the shelter and did our own

photos and marketing. We found him a new home.

Demo – what is AdoptMeApp?

"Every Shelter Pet

Now Has

a New Happy Story"

AdoptMeApp enables staff,

volunteers, and fosterers in

animal shelters and rescue

groups to easily post and

share linked stories, photos,

and videos about adoptable

pets

Page 9: AdoptMeApp presentation for Maddie's Fund

Demo – Benefits

Taps into volunteer

creativity and social

networks

Gives dynamic, rather than

static, view of pet

Lets adopter see how the

pet interacts in many

situations, with different

people

Especially great for fostered

pets - shows how the pet fits

into someone’s home and

life. Takes advantage of

foster situation!

Highly Leveraged

Volunteers, and only a small % need to use it to create impact. Does

not require staff participation. Small amount of volunteer mgmt.

Any volunteer w/ smart phone can master it. No training needed.

Uses existing social media for broadcast – low technical and

marketing risk

Spreads word among social networks that staff doesn’t have time to

reach; leverages volunteers’ social graph

Appropriate for all shelters/rescues, even those with none/poor tech

infrastructure

Allows organization to have oversight into volunteer interactions,

especially important with fosterers. Identification of best practices.

Shelters can learn from each other.

Sponsorship Technology & Team

CORE TEAM

Frederic Ranft

ORIGINAL

CODENAME

DONATIONPAL

Has been fully operational 4 years without failure

Can process micropayments and small donations

creating the possibility for thousands of smaller donors

to join the ranks of sponsorship

Can spread the money algorithmically across multiple

pet/entities

Encourages ongoing sponsorship through monthly

“subscriptions,” in which the donors immediately shift

their sponsorship to another animal once their

beneficiaries are adopted

Can handle all the financial transactions of

sponsorship, relieving shelters of the expense and

responsibility

The core team has already built a live, robust, time-tested

infrastructure for easy, ongoing sponsorship donations.
