⭐️ Marketing Your Foster Dog: Muddy Paws Rescue

Hi all!

My name is Alex Lloyd and I have been a volunteer with Muddy Paws for nearly 3 years. Originally I started as an event volunteer and was hooked pretty quickly. From there I started photographing for Muddy Paws, I am now a member of the Events & Volunteers team as well as the Social team, and I am an active foster! In addition to my work with Muddy Paws, I photograph for various rescue groups and shelters in the New York area and run an Instagram page called “Adoptable Dogs of NYC” (@adoptabledogsofnyc) where I share adoptable dogs through my photography and share my fosters’ journeys during their time with me via Instagram stories.

I have fostered 12 dogs and 4 kittens since starting my Instagram account and have developed a pretty good rhythm when a new animal joins my home to introduce them to potential adopters through social media! By seeing the dog on my couch, walking around my apartment, or exploring the neighborhood via Instagram stories, potential adopters can really imagine the dog in their own home — a very important part of finding our fosters their forever families.
