Kibbles & Bits
by Kristen Ohlundbender
Hello everybody. I hope all is well in your world and you are at peace in your life.
This article is about sharing. We are taught at an early age to share. It is part of a socializing process that allows us to connect with others learn cooperation and generosity. My mother was big on sharing- making extra food to share with neighbors, giving out items she had canned and my least favorite, making me share my candy with my sister after she had eaten all hers.
We use Facebook to promote animals available for adoption, fundraising events and educational topics that can help you be a better pet parent. All of our posts can be shared and we encourage you to do so. The more articles are shared the larger the audience becomes. This is important for an organization like ours in that it helps get animals adopted, encourages attendance at fundraisers and may help someone solve an issue they are having with their pets.
For me the most important shares are ones that help the unwanted become wanted and give the animal a better chance at having a happy home life. Lets do some math. Say you see a dog on our page you think would be perfect for a friend of yours. So you share the post to that friend. That dog has now made a connection with one person. But what if instead you share it to 20 friends and ask them to share it with 20 more. That animal has now been seen by 400 people. This astronomically increases its opportunity for adoption. See where I am going with this? Please share our posts and request they be further shared to their friends (people you may not know). You never know when someone may see an animal they fall in love with and want to live happily ever after with. When you share, please ask them to follow our page. The more followers= more adoptions and more attendees at fundraisers which in turn means more funds for our spay/neuter program and furthers our goal for a physical shelter.
Remember your mom’s teaching and SHARE!
Our current fundraiser is a raffle of a Citadel AR-12 shotgun and 20 gun safe made by Wi******er. If you are interested in tickets please call 615-957-1761. Keep an eye on our page for announcements of adoption events at Tractor Supply in Parsons and look for us at the Big Squeeze. Donations can be made on our page, at any branch of Decatur County Bank or by mail at P.O. Box 233, Decaturville, TN 38329.
Always be kind to yourself, to others and to the animals. Until next time, peace and love. Thank you for your support.
