Ring Will Make Donations to the ASPCA® and Local Animal Shelters for Every Pet Video or Picture Submitted to #RingPets through June 14, 2024
Ultimate Pet Mom, Drew Barrymore, and the ASPCA Will Help Choose One Lucky Pet to Appear in Upcoming Ring Commercial
HAWTHORNE, Calif., May 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Ring announced a new campaign called "Ring Pet Portraits," inviting pet parents to join the company in raising funds for animal shelters in need by sharing their favorite pet videos and pictures. Every day, Ring doorbells and cameras help pet parents capture countless adorable moments and stay close to pets while away from home. Beginning now through June 14, for every pet video or picture post submitted with hashtag #RingPets on Instagram or TikTok, Ring will pledge a $10 donation, up to $100,000, to support the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) and up to an additional $400,000 to local animal shelters across the U.S. in an ongoing effort to find animals loving homes1.
"Every year, approximately 6.3 million companion animals enter U.S. animal shelters nationwide, and now more than ever it's a great time to support your local shelter by opening your heart and home to an animal in need," said Matt Bershadker, President and CEO, ASPCA. "We are thankful to Ring and Drew Barrymore for shining a light on adoptable pets and the joy pets bring to a home."
To raise awareness for pets in shelters, Ring tapped pet mom of seven, actress, and talk show host Drew Barrymore to help spread the word. The passionate animal advocate stars in a new heartwarming and amusing short film to reveal the Ring Pet Portraits campaign, with her rescue dog and co-star, Douglas. The tension builds as Drew buys time in breaking the news to Douglas that he can't participate in Ring Pet Portraits because he's a nepo puppy. Plus, Jeremy, the bearded dragon and part of the Barrymore family also lands a cameo, appearing distraught on camera that she too can't participate. In Douglas's first official on-screen role, the pup-star brought a range of drama he could only ever learn from his loving mom, Drew.
"It was absolutely love at first sight for all seven of my pets that fill my home with so much joy and a little dose of chaos from time to time," said Drew Barrymore. "I'm honored to join Ring on this important mission, celebrate the special bonds and pride pet parents have for their animals, and help generate donations to the ASPCA and local animal shelters."
If there's one thing pet parents have in common, it's the desire to share unexpected and delightful moments captured on camera with anyone who will watch. And Ring wants to see it all – from the sweet head turns when they hear mom's voice using the Two-Way Talk camera feature, to a full 360-degree view on Ring's new Pan Tilt Indoor Cam of the mess they made at home.
For pet parents who believe their pet is destined for fame, eligible submissions tagged with hashtag #contest in addition to #RingPets will be entered in a contest for one pet to appear in an upcoming Ring commercial. Drew Barrymore is teaming up with the ASPCA to help choose one lucky winner. Check out the official rules for a full list of eligibility requirements2.
