Adoption Ambassadors
Adoption Ambassador Program
Most animals thrive and show their truest selves outside of the animal shelter. Animals may simply need the comfort of a home to find the right placement. Adoption Ambassadors take animals into their care who are ready for adoption but may not be thriving in the shelter. An adoption ambassador uses marketing and social networking to look for a perfect fit for an animal in need.
Both cats and dogs are eligible to go into foster with their spay/neuter surgery completed. Heartworm and Combo tests finished, microchip implanted, and all necessary vaccinations done. Any shelter animal ready for adoption, especially long-stay friends benefit from having an Adoption Ambassador.
