Bronco’s Story – former homeless dog in Palo Alto
Bronco’s adoptable pet profile
read like that thousands of other
shelter dogs…
Need to get the word out about
adoptable pets! Inspired the
development of AdoptMeApp.
Epilogue: We pulled him from the Palo Alto
Animal Services (PAAS) shelter and did
our own marketing. We found him a new
home.
