Below is the testimonial from Tri-County Humane Society:
The Tri County Humane Society is so pleased with the response we’ve had from our Shelter’s exposure on “The Talk of the Town” (TToTT) radio show. Hosts Peter Leonard and Jacqui Wyatt create a lively, dynamic environment in which the discussion is more like friends sitting around a coffee table rather than simply a straightforward interview.
The majority of the dogs profiled on “TToTT” have already been adopted. Just as an example, the family that adopted Rosie, an energetic nine month old Chocolate Lab, came into the Shelter a few days after our broadcast to say that they had heard about her on the show. They visited with her twice before deciding to make her a part of their family. They are just one of many families who have heard about these dogs and come to the shelter looking to adopt.
We’re also very excited by a new alliance between “The Talk of the Town” radio show, ME Photography and Tri County Humane Society. This noted Boca Raton photography studio has begun visiting the Shelter a few days before our broadcast to photograph our featured dogs. These beautiful photos are then used on Tri County and “TToTT” Facebook pages, and also Tri County and ME Photography’s websites. It’s a spectacular addition to our efforts to re-home these pets.
Tri County Humane is really thrilled at how the scope of our bi-weekly discussions is also growing. We are now able to discuss a full calendar of upcoming Shelter events, as well as topics of interest to pet lovers ranging from dog friendly venues to current events.
Tri County Humane Society LOVES “The Talk of The Town” show and looks forward to a long and rewarding partnership!
