Video Production

Pond's Thanksgiving Dinner in Kennel
This viral video helped our single-animal home girlie, Pond, get adopted. NOT because her future adopter saw it, but because it helped CAC staff, volunteers, and fosters become invested in her story and push her for adoption to the right family.

Campaign Kick-off Video for Tony Hawk
This is the kick-off video to Tony Hawk's adoption campaign. As a wheel-chair dog coming up on his 3rd year in care, we knew he needed an extra push to be adopted. This campaign ultimately helped Tony find his current home!

Our Shelter Director Explains 'Capacity'
As a no-kill shelter, we are always are transparent with our community about how our animals are living on-site and the need for foster homes. A shelter is not a home, and when we have dogs living in pop-up crates in our garage, it's all hands on deck.
