How we work.
The Outta the Cage manifesto—er, DOGifesto.
Work. Damn. Hard.
See every dog as an individual, regardless of breed or provenance.
Video and photograph shelter dogs outside their kennels (a.k.a. outta the cage!).
Rely on the viral power of the network. It’s not who you know; it’s who they know.
Believe that decompression time, consistent exercise, and companionship (both animal and human) can transform a shelter pet.
Meet dogs before we rescue them—so we can create a realistic plan and accurately represent them.
Work. Damn. Hard.
Celebrate ambassadors, photographers, videographers, networkers, fosters, and adopters.
Take behavior assessments with a grain of salt (a.k.a. trust but verify).
Give extra credit to seniors, medical, and special-needs dogs. They need love, too.
Never, ever save a dog without a plan.
Create small moments of joy for shelter animals.
