Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
Promotion is allowed only with moderator permission (or inside designated threads). A short, honest modmail before posting costs two minutes and functions as a safe-conduct pass; skipping it is the most common avoidable removal.
From the rules · Do not honor pledges until a post is updated with verified rescue info and a freedom picture; contact the OP or mods (chat/modmail) for verification.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, story, discussion
Headline: DOG NAME — urgent location + euthanasia date/time (e.g., “Sefi — BARC Houston — EUTH 9/8 @ 1pm”). Write in first person/OP voice or brief third-person rescue voice. Keep post short (1–4 short paragraphs), emotive and urgent, use emojis/ALL CAPS sparingly (🆘, 🚨), include shelter ID, status (RESCUE ONLY/AVAILABLE), clear call to action (foster, adopter, rescue, pledges), contact method (DM/Chat/modmail), and any rescue/transport fees and verification (freedom pic). Posts that lack rescue info or a freedom picture get pushback; verification and clear next steps get upvoted.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.

Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
