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:

Purebred dogs vs Shelter dogs

Photo credit: Dayton Daily News Yesterday on Twitter, there was a post about an adoptable dog and someone had replied with "well their adoption fees are more expensive than some papered purebreds. People would adopt more if it was more affordable!" My first thought was: That's exactly why animals are in shelters; For YOUR affordability. (Ironically, this person calls themselves a "Pit Bull advocate." See: Abuse of the term "advocate.") This brings up many points: "Papered" means nothing. It's literally a piece of paper with no value. Any so-called "breeder" can register anything, even mutts. And I'll tell you right now, if you paid $100 for a dog with "papers" those don't even prove the dog is of pure bred lineage. There are pure bred dogs in shelters. Most shelters have fees under $200. So think about what you're actually getting if you're purchasing a dog for this little with "papers...

Flirt Poles for Dogs

Flirt Poles are an excellent way to exercise your dog and dogs waiting for their forever homes in shelters.  Flirt Poles are like large cat wand toys, for dogs. The idea is, the dog chases the lure back and forth, wearing themselves out trying to catch the lure. It's important first, to teach the dog to "take" and "leave" the lure. That is, the dog needs to wait until it's given a cue to begin to chase the lure.  The lure can be most anything. In the picture at left, there's a fleece lure that is washable and pretty durable. This is great for shelters, as it's important to frequently wash toys after each use.  You can make Flirt Poles yourself, or purchase them online.  This Flirt Pole is made by Squishy Face Studio How to make a Flirt Pole: ( via BADRAP ) Materials: 1. Five or Six foot long PVC pipe 2. 3/4” diameter PVC is best for long poles 3. Approximately 15 feet of rope 4. A stuffed animal o...
