Episode notes
Origin of Redemption Paws
- Redemption Paws started as a one-time mission after Hurricane Harvey, rescuing 40 dogs from Texas.
- It grew into a Canadian charity that has rescued over 4,000 dogs due to the high number of homeless dogs in Texas and the demand in Canada.
Authenticity over Polish
- Stay updated on social media trends and avoid overly polished, generic content.
- Prioritize authentic visuals, like simple photos of dogs in shelters, which can be highly effective.
Balancing Act of Rescue
- Redemption Paws faces the challenge of balancing urgent animal care with social media planning.
- While they aim for more pre-planning, immediate animal needs often take precedence.
