Kennel Personality Cards


These cards are meant for the outside of kennels at animal shelters to give visitors some insight as to the personality of the individual animal. So often animals at shelters don’t have a bio, or are judged purely on breed, stereotypes or first impressions. It’s helpful for visitors to know that a dog knows some basic commands, or likes to play or run, or is good with kids/other small animals, etc.

Also available in kitties! These cards will advertise kitties as independent, a lap kitty, a playful kitty, etc. 

The Kennel Card Packs are about 3” x 4” and laminated. Hole punch is optional. The graphics are hand-drawn digitally and feature bright, fun text to grab adopters attention!

Work at a shelter and are interested in these cards? Email us! We're still working on the logistics and order form, so please bear with us!



We recently worked with HEAL Animal Rescue in Pennsylvania! Here are the Kennel Personality Cards in action:

I also make them with tear-offs that are printable, so you can post them around town; at stores, coffee shops, community boards, etc.  I use bright colors, and fun, eye-catching fonts. The goal is to make the animal the main focus of the ad.  Just sharing and networking animals saves lives ! Tweeting, sharing on Facebook, Pinning, posting on Instagram/stories and on local sites like Nextdoor all make a huge difference. On Pet Harbor and PetFinder.com, you have many 'share' options which include three of t

Kennel Enrichment

Kennel Enrichment (KE) includes a variety of things, including stimulating toys (such as treat dispensing toys), training or exercise activities, in-kennel activities, music, scents, social needs, etc. The first step in KE in an animal shelter, is keeping the dogs calm, and focused while in their kennel. A quiet, distracted dog shows much better when visitors are walking by the kennels. Photo courtesy of Center for Shelter Dogs KONGs are great, durable, treat dispensing toys. There are plenty of other brands of treat dispensing toys that are equally as challenging, and durable.  You can use a variety of dog treats and peanut butter. You can put most anything in them including regular kibble, bananas and yogurt. You can also freeze them! They last longer, and are great on hot days when frozen.
