"Hi there! It’s so nice to meet you! My name is Anatase and I can`t believe I was chosen to be this week`s featured pet! I have a special offer for you that comes with my adoption, and I hope that my family reads this and finds me soon. Together, we can learn something new and have a lot of fun doing it!
Please check out my featured blog post on the AWS website and see if maybe, we were meant to be together! I appreciate everyone who checks it out. Woof!"

With our Doggy Date Program, volunteers take our pups out for an afternoon, an evening, or a whole day on the town! Volunteers treat our resident canines to a leisurely lunch date, a romp on the beach, perhaps a trip to the park or a stop to get ice cream, and even a hiking adventure in the great outdoors. Spending time outside their kennels is vital to the welfare of our animals, which is why our daytime foster volunteers are some of the best! We never take for granted their love and dedication to our resident dogs!

Pets need foster care for a variety of reasons, and luckily our foster volunteers know how to help! Foster volunteers bring our animals into their homes where they might oversee a rabbit’s recovery from surgery, care for a litter of newborn kittens, or simply supply a loving environment to an animal awaiting adoption. There are always pets who will need that extra level of care and attention, which is why foster volunteers are essential to any animal welfare organization. We couldn’t do what we do without them!
