3.  What is your second answer? (In complete thesis statement format)

One of the most effective strategies a shelter can use to increase the chances an animal will be adopted is to have a strong, active social media connection.

4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.

Source Link - "Three of the Internet’s most beloved pets are teaming up to help the millions of cats and dogs in shelters and rescue groups across the country find loving homes. Fashion icon Toast Meets World, globally recognized pianist Keyboard Cat and life of the party Hamilton Pug are lending their star power to “Start A Story. Adopt,” a new public service advertising (PSA) campaign from The Shelter Pet Project, a collaborative effort between Maddie’s Fund®, The Humane Society of the United States and the Ad Council." 

Toast Meets World, Keyboard Cat, and Hamilton Pug are three real life examples of a great social media background. 

 5.  What printed source best supports your answer?

Source Link - "A recent study from the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science took a look at 468 photos of young and adult black Labrador mixed breed dogs adopted via Petfinder across the United States. Having a good photograph made a huge difference. Dogs with a high quality adoption profile photo were adopted within 14 days, compared to 43 days for those with a poor photo. Among adult dogs, being outside made a significant difference, with an average adoption time of 37 days for outdoor photos compared to 51 days for indoor photos."

7.  Tie this together with a  concluding thought.

If a shelter can have a strong, active connected social media background then more people will be aware of the animals that arrive to the shelter and would create an audience base that can become loyal volunteers, donators, and individual promoters.
