Finding Forever Homes for Long-term Residents

We believe every dog deserves a loving home. That's why DOGTV Networks is launching a new adoption show dedicated to showcasing the incredible dogs who have been waiting for their forever families. We understand that some dogs, often referred to as "long-term residents" or "shelter veterans," may face unique challenges in finding adopters and we’d like to help.

We're here to highlight the amazing qualities these dogs possess, that may not shine through with a photo on a website. Our show will showcase individual stories, quirks, and the unique nature of these dogs, all while providing a platform for shelters to share a video of dogs in need of a home with millions of viewers.

How DOGTV will help:

• Increased Visibility: Featuring 10 dogs weekly on our show gives them exposure to a wider audience of potential adopters.
• Showcasing Personality: Video captures their playful moments, gentle cuddles, and unique personalities, allowing viewers to connect with them.
• Removing Barriers: By highlighting the dogs positive attributes, potential adoptees will focus less on misconceptions about long-term residents and open their hearts to these wonderful dogs.

How do I sign up my rescue/shelter for DOGTV Networks new adoption show?

We’re glad you asked! We invite you to submit a video of a dog in your care, who has had the most trouble finding a forever home. Up to 10 dogs will be featured from various shelters each week, providing valuable exposure and increasing the dogs chances of adoption.

Submission Guidelines:

1. Video Content:
   • Capture a video using your smartphone. Keep videos short and engaging (ideally 90 seconds).
   • Videos should showcase the dog's personality and unique qualities.
   • Ensure videos are of good quality and well-lit (please highlight the dog only, and do not include any children in videos — this will disqualify the video submission).
   • Submit videos of dogs who are currently available for adoption and have been at your facility for an extended period.
2. Submission Limit:

   Rescues and shelters can submit up to 2 different dog videos per week.

3. Selection Process:

   DOGTV will review all submissions and select up to 10 dogs to be featured each week. We will notify you via email if your dog is selected to be featured on the show.

The following info is required to complete your application:

• Rescue/Shelter Name, location and phone number

We look forward to working with you to help these wonderful dogs find their forever homes!
