San Antonio's local animal shelter (SAPA) created a Facebook page to spread the word about the mission of their location. This page provides photos of puppies along with short biographies for all animals available for adoption. Videos of dogs frolicking at bath time, scampering in the yard, and nuzzling are available for viewing on their page. People love this feature, and this has resulted in many puppies finding a forever home.

promote finding new homes for puppies

encourage the public to spend time playing with their own pets
