Help adoptable pets stand out with a moving photo

Moving images get more attention than still ones in a busy feed. A living portrait can give a shy shelter pet a few extra seconds of someone's attention.

Filming every animal in a busy shelter takes time most volunteers don't have. With a living portrait you can reuse the listing photo you already took and turn it into a short loop for Instagram, Facebook or TikTok.

Calm, gentle moods tend to suit adoption posts best, because they show a pet who looks relaxed and approachable. Try Calm or Curious.

Questions

Can a rescue use this for many animals?

Yes. The credit pack is the most flexible option for occasional use.

Is it honest to show a "moving" photo?

We recommend labelling it as an AI-animated photo in your post, so adopters know what they're seeing.
