Want to Get Your Name on TV?
Let the World Know that You are Against Chaining Dogs?

Now's Your Chance, with our New Program to Bring our PSA to Stations in Major Markets All Across the Country!
Ads Starting as low as $10-$15 Each. Read on for More Info...

Dear Dogs Deserve Better Supporter,

Guess What! We have a brand new way you can help us free chained dogs and bring our 'best friend' into the home and family.

Our PSA ad has been running on TVs across the nation, but now there's a new twist: we have a new application on our site that allows our supporters to run the ad with their name on it! The final 5 seconds of the ad will say “Paid for by: YOUR NAME” when it runs on television.

How Exciting is That!

In partnership with SaysMe.tv, we are excited to provide you with an empowering opportunity to truly get our message out.

Now you can tell everyone that Dogs Deserve Better than life on a chain! This is an easy and extremely effective way to do something meaningful in the fight for Man's Best Friend.

How it works:

Follow the link below and choose the city where you want the ad to be seen. Enter your name where indicated and click “see it” to see how the ad will look on tv with your name attached. Next select the cable network and timeslot for your ad. After you complete the purchase and email will be sent to you letting you know when the ad will air so you can tell all your friends to watch and air their own ads. The time to act is now. To help save chained dogs start here:

 

Unfortunately, even though each ad is VERY reasonably priced, usually from $10-$30, there is currently a $100 minimum total order for the ad. Brendan from SaysMe.TV tells us that he is hopeful soon they will be buying enough ad space to get rid of the minimums per customer. Remember, for your $100 you can get DDB's message on a station as many as 5-10 times, which will include your name each time! For example, you can run 10 commercials in your name on ANIMAL PLANET for $100 during prime time hours in Los Angeles (90071)! Also, try to find others in your area to chip in...if 4 of you go in on 10 commercials, and find a way to include all your names or make up a funny name which will represent all of you, you can get the NO CHAINS message out at a very low cost!

Or, You can Still Try to Get It Run the Traditional Way, by Asking Your Local TV Station to Run
it for Free, and Sending us the Information (at info@dogsdeservebetter.org) on Format:

Adrian Zmed, star of TJ Hooker and Grease 2, who not only came to Chain Off 2006 as our special guest, but also agreed to star in the PSA for us, acted alongside Mojo, a DDB rescued chained dog from Seattle, Washington. Adrian has proven to be a true gem for Dogs Deserve Better, and he's a joy to know!

The shoot took place Monday, August 7th, 2006 at Point Robinson Park, Vashon/Maury Island, Washington. Photos of the shoot throughout this page, and now, you can watch the finished PSA Right Here!
