Why Sponsoring Matters:
On average, it takes shelter dogs about a month to get adopted, sometimes longer. Shelter workers across the country pour every ounce of their time and energy into the animals, but they always need more help.
We understand that not everyone is in a place to adopt, foster, or volunteer right now, but so many of us still want to help. Our Shelter Outings are a fantastic way for you to provide quality time for these dogs, in the care of a skilled, attentive, professional dog handler!
- It gives the dog an exciting and enriching experience outside of the kennel.
- It provides the shelter with valuable information they can use to place them with the perfect family.
- It produces substantial public and social media exposure to help them meet potential adopters.
