Share the route to current information
Open the organization's original listing before sharing and check the name, date and current status. Prefer its official link or built-in sharing method where appropriate. A screenshot can be useful context, but it removes the live connection that allows the organization to update information. Include the original link if you share an image, and respect any request about reuse.
Keep your accompanying text factual. Explain that details and applications are handled by the named organization, then direct readers to its current page. Do not invent a deadline, describe the dog as reserved for someone, or promise suitability for children and other pets beyond what the organization states. Even a well-intended sentence can become a misleading claim when copied again.
If a profile contains sensitive information or a private foster address, do not republish it. Ask the organization which public material it wants circulated. Never add personal contact details obtained from an application conversation to make a post seem more helpful. The approved public route should carry inquiries.
A current official listing is still not a guarantee that the dog remains available at the moment someone reads your share. Ask interested people to confirm with the rescue. I Spy Bostons does not hold applications, reserve dogs or arrange introductions, and sharing its editorial pages should not imply otherwise.
Keep responsibility with the organization
Do not collect deposits, receive applications or screen households on a rescue's behalf unless the organization has formally authorized you through its own process. For an ordinary share, point questions back to the official contact. If an unexpected account offers to arrange a faster adoption, verify the connection independently before engaging.
MABTR's published impersonation warning notes copied images and logos. Check the destination domain and use the organization's independently located contact page if something appears inconsistent. A familiar-looking photograph is not proof that the person using it controls the adoption.
If you learn that a shared post is outdated, update or remove your own copy and direct readers to the current source. Do not announce the reason for a status change unless the organization has published it. A profile disappearing could have several explanations, and speculation about the dog or an adopter adds nothing useful.
Keep a modest record of links you share frequently so you can review them. The useful contribution is making verified information easier to reach while leaving availability, assessment and placement decisions with the responsible organization.
