This New Year, you can make a life-changing difference for the animals at AWD Animal Welfare by giving them the joy of a break from the shelter while they wait for their forever homes. Our pets are looking for caring community members to help them relax, recharge, and shine their brightest for potential adopters — and you can be that helping hand (and heart!).
For Foster Opportunities we are looking for compassionate people who can welcome a shelter pet into their home for a short or long stay. You can choose what works best for you:
• Slumber Party Weekend: Enjoy a 1–3-nights sleepover and give a pet a fun mini-vacation outside the shelter.
• Full Foster Break: If you’re able to open your home a little longer, pets can enjoy a cozy month or longer foster stay. These breaks help animals decompress, show off their true personalities, and enjoy a peaceful home experience surrounded by love — even before they find their forever family.
Not Ready to Foster? Try a Doggie Day Out
If an overnight visit isn’t the right fit, you can still make a huge impact by taking a dog out for a few hours of fun and freedom.
Enjoy activities like:
• Taking a dog on a relaxing hike
• Hanging out together at a dog-friendly café or brew pub
• Bringing them home for a calm afternoon and a comfy nap Doggy Day Outs help our pups experience joy, reduce stress, and give them valuable exposure that helps them get adopted faster.
Whether it’s a day, a weekend, or a few weeks, your time means the world to an animal waiting for their forever home. Help us make their New Year a little brighter — and make yours a little warmer in return.
