Give the Gift of Comfort This Holiday Season — Become a Pawliday Foster or Doggy Day Out Buddy!
This holiday season, you can make a life-changing difference for the animals at AWD Animal Welfare by giving them the gift 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!).
Pawliday Foster Opportunities We’re looking for compassionate people who can welcome a shelter pet into their home for a short holiday 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.
• Holiday Foster Break: If you’re able to open your home a little longer, pets can enjoy a cozy 3–4 week foster stay during the holiday season. These breaks help animals decompress, show off their true personalities, and enjoy a peaceful holiday surrounded by love — even before they find their forever family.
Not Ready to Foster? Try a Doggy 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 holidays brighter — and make yours a little warmer in return.
