Will you help them find a home?
Become an Adoption Ambassador for Dorchester Paws and help animals find new homes. As an Adoption Ambassador, you take in an animal from Dorchester Paws and help them meet “the one.” Actively promote your foster on social media, bring them to Dorchester Paws adoption events, or take them out with you to brunch! There’s nothing more rewarding than being part of helping an animal meet its new family!
Frequently Asked Questions
What animals are candidates for an Adoption Ambassador?
Most animals on the adoption floor are candidates for an Adoption Ambassador. Typically, the animals are older, have been in the shelter longer or don’t do well in the shelter environment, or animals that have quirks you would be willing to work with.
How long do I foster the animal?
For the Adoption Ambassador program, we ask that you foster the animal for as long as it takes to get them adopted. This could be a few days or a few weeks!
How can I spread the word about my foster?
There are so many ways you can spread the word about your foster to potential adopters! Tell your friends and family about them, post on social media, take them out with you to run errands or get brunch. You can take them anywhere and share anything that would get them exposure and help find an adopter.
Do puppies or kittens qualify?
Very rarely do puppies and kittens need an adoption ambassador, as they are normally adopted very quickly. The adult dogs and cats need love too!
What happens when I find someone who wants to adopt my foster?
When you find someone who wants to adopt the animal, send them down to Dorchester Paws to fill out the paperwork. You can meet them at the shelter to finalize the adoption and send your foster to their new family!
