That is a lot of good being done and at a little longer than a minute, this is an absolutely must see advert.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2910\" style=\"width: 260px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/tinder-dogs-hed2-2014.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2910\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-2910\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/tinder-dogs-hed2-2014-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/tinder-dogs-hed2-2014-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/tinder-dogs-hed2-2014.jpg 652w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2910\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.adweek.com\/digital\/these-daters-tinder-are-real-dogs-159270\/\" target=\"_blank\">Adweek<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>2.

The company put 10 dogs up initially then had 2,700 matches in less than a week. Although unconventional, this has shown to be a great way to spread the word about animals looking to find a new home and is noteworthy for being a fresh take to bring people and pets together!<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. \u201cAdopt a Pet\u201d Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"860\" height=\"645\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ifMz9Dai-vw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We all could use a little more appreciation in our lives.
