Let’s face it—people love their pets like family, and National Dog Month (all August long!) is the perfect, unexpected way to connect on a personal level with clients, referral partners, and your local community. It’s lighthearted, memorable, and lets you show off your human (and dog-loving) side—all while staying top-of-mind as their go-to home loan resource.
Drop off dog-friendly frozen treats (or simple dog biscuits) to past clients, Realtor partners, or open house visitors.
Sample Tagline:
“Here’s a treat for your four-legged friend! Let me know if I can help you fetch your next home!”
Team up with a local pet store or dog groomer for a co-branded giveaway (like a free dog wash, toy basket, or gift card). They promote you to their customers, and you promote them to your database.
Sample Tagline:
“Your pup deserves a fresh start—so do you! Let’s talk home loans and new beginnings!”
Set up a booth or sponsor a table at a local dog park day or adoption event. Bring branded doggie bandanas, water bowls, or treats with your contact info attached.
Sample Tagline:
“Whether it’s finding the perfect home for your family—or your furry friend—I’ve got you covered!”
Ask followers to post a pic of their dog at home (on the couch, in the yard, etc.) with a unique hashtag like #PawsAndProperties or #DogsAndDreamHomes. Offer a small gift card prize for the cutest or funniest entry.
Post a fun Story with a mystery dog breed photo and let followers vote. Caption it with something like:
“When it comes to homes and dogs… variety is everything! Need help finding your loan match?”
Do a quick, funny video showing your dog “helping” with paperwork, answering emails, or making calls.
Caption idea:
“Getting pre-approved? Don’t worry, I’ll do the paperwork—leave the cuddles to your dog!”
🏡 “Don’t let your dream home run away—let’s leash in your loan approval today!”
🐶 “Stay out of the rental doghouse—let’s get you pre-approved!”
💰 “Fetching low rates and happy homeowners, one loan at a time!”
National Dog Month is the perfect excuse to have some fun while building authentic relationships with your network. Whether you’re dropping off dog treats, running a lighthearted social media contest, or just adding a cute tagline to your email signature, these simple touches help you stay memorable and approachable—all while keeping your business top of mind. After all, who doesn’t love a Loan Officer with a little personality (and puppy love)? 🐾
