Dana M. TharpSocial Media Specialist
Dana began her career in Operations Management and Marketing within the financial industry, working with several Fortune 500 companies. In her own time, Dana has rescued, adopted, and fostered animals, which led her to co-found All Fur One Pet Rescue and Adoptions in 2018. Her passion for developing engaged, animal-loving digital communities inspired her to found Sploot Marketing, a consultancy dedicated to helping animal welfare organizations enhance their social media presence.
In 2022, after witnessing a great need for digital communication following the pandemic, Dana created "From Paws to Post," an online training platform for animal welfare staff and volunteers. The course simplifies social media best practices, making it easy to boost engagement, expand reach, and build a ready-for-action following. The ultimate goal is to help nurture meaningful connections between animal welfare organizations and their devoted, animal-loving audiences across the country.
Dana is especially thrilled to be part of the Grey Muzzle team, driven by her personal dedication to shining a light on long-stay and harder-to-place pets, which seniors tend to find themselves in both categories all too often. She is passionate about giving these special animals the love and attention they deserve and promoting the collaborative efforts of donors and grantee organization teams working together to make the biggest impact for senior dogs.
