Bring a shelter pet from Dorchester Paws to your office and help get them adopted!
Give a shelter animal a break and put them to work!
YOU can take an animal to work and have them spend time in your office, greet customers, and promote them on social media!
By taking the animal with you to work, you’re giving them a break from the overwhelming shelter life and showing them the world outside of the Dorchester Paws gates. They’ll have the opportunity to relax and receive some of the exposure that often leads to adoptions!

Professional Paws FAQ
What animals qualify for the Professional Paws program?
Animals that do well around new people and groups of people, older animals and mellow animals are candidates for the Professional Paws program.
Can my office animal be a cat?
Of course! Cats make great office companions too!
How long do I keep the pet?
It’s up to you! You can make it just a day trip for the pet, or take the pet to work and home with you for a week.
How can I promote the pet on social media?
We love seeing posts about our shelter pets by community members! When you take a pet for Professional Paws, you can promote them on social media with pictures, videos, live videos, Facebook or Instagram stories and more. Just make sure to tag @DorchesterPaws and use #ProfessionalPaws, #PawsGoToWork, and #ThinkAdoptionFirst. Please make the posts public so we can share them!
