Worth highlighting the sponsored explanation in light of the federal government's new lawsuit.

She always uses ✌️🖤 and the comments read like they were written by her

Kayleigh (@kayleighanddogs, 27k followers) is a shelter worker at a municipal shelter that serves a metro area of about 100,000 people. Her work includes euthanasia. She has a series in which she posts her process of choosing which dogs to euthanize, showing videos of the dogs that have been killed by the time the video is posted. When people ask how they can help the dogs at her shelter, she says she is doing all she can in her local community and directs them to help their local shelters instead.

Kayleigh posts videos 1-2 times per day because, as she has said, she is trying to make social media her full-time job. What she doesn’t share is that the dogs at her shelter get almost no visibility online outside of her page. Her shelter has no website showing adoptable dogs. No current Instagram page. No TikTok page. No PetFinder. There is a Facebook page for shelter that posts photos of new dogs on stray holds, and when the dogs are past stray hold their photos are moved to an album titled, “Adoptable Dogs.” The photo posts only include gender and location where the dog was found. There is one (usually terrible) photo and no information about age (puppy/adult/senior), temperament, or anything else. I’m posting an example with location-specific info blurred out.

There have been recent local Facebook posts about the need for change at the animal control facility, demanding it “to not euthanize another dog until the city creates a Facebook adoption page where animals can be offered to the public.” The shelter’s social media presence doesn’t even meet that low bar. Kayleigh posts these dogs on social media almost every single day—just not where it could help them. She misleads her followers about what else is being done locally to bring visibility to these dogs.

Anyone else wonder if the real reason is that it’s awkward for this breeder that Rudder has had so many issues, especially his paroxysmal dyskinesia (genetic)? I have to imagine the breeder would not want her name associated with this social media platform. She used to share information about the breeder, and it’s still readily available to anyone who searches “myboyrudder breeder”
