Announcing Ring Pet Portraits: Join Ring and Drew Barrymore to Help Support Shelter Animals Across the U.S.

By Ring on May 13, 2024

To pet parents, their furry friends are everything…they’re truly part of the family! And Ring gets it. Every day, Ring doorbells and cameras help these pet parents capture countless adorable moments and stay close to pets while away from home. But what about the millions of companion animals that are in shelters without a home?

During National Pet Month, Ring is teaming up with ultimate pet mom Drew Barrymore to help drive donations to the ASPCA and local animal pet shelters across the country, and you can help. 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 homes.

That’s right - we want to see everything your pets have got 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. Because we know there’s one thing pet parents have in common - the desire to share unexpected and delightful moments captured on camera with anyone who will watch.

And there’s a fun, pet-tastic twist. If you think your pet is destined for fame, eligible submissions can make your pet eligible to appear in an upcoming Ring commercial. How’s the winner chosen? Drew will team up with the ASPCA to help choose one lucky winner. Check out the official rules for a full list of eligibility requirements.

Need some tips on how to capture your pet’s best angles? Here’s how to capture your best pet portrait:

Don’t call it a cat-sting call because Ring is looking for ALL furry, feathery, and scaly pets that fill the home with joy to participate in Ring Pet Portraits.

Set up a camera in an area where pets spend most of their time to snap a candid video or photo that showcases pets’ zany personality. From the mischievous to the charming, all are welcome!

If your pet is a little camera shy, use Two-Way Talk to coach a tail-wagging strut, strike a pose, and champion their little fur-ocious selves.

And let’s not forget about those sweet pet faces! Give us a close-up so we can see those stunning smiles, curious expressions, or judgy side eyes.

So get to snapping, and thank you for being part of this important pet initiative. We can’t wait to see all of your pet portraits on #RingPets!
