22 | 8/16/2012 10:24:09 | Charleston Animal Society | New foster program called Adoption Ambassadors | This is a new foster program and has been quite successful in the past several months. We place dogs and puppies that are up for adoption into foster homes. We will then supply the Ambassador with everything they need...an adopt me vest, business cards for the dog, food, crate, we will train you on the adoption process, advertise the dog on our facebook and website, and encourage you to take your dog/puppy around the community to try to find someone to adopt them. We will also invite the Ambassadors to our adoption events. If you find someone to adopt the dog you will perform the adoption process. This is a research and development project that we are participating in for the ASPCA, meaning we are collecting data on why families are adopting the dogs out of the foster families homes. This program allows us to have more space available in the shelter for new animals entering the shelter, animals adopted out of foster homes are less likely to be returned, and the animal is able to live in a home environment and never has to come back to the shelter! We would love for us to have more people participate in this life saving program! Most of these dogs are getting adopted between 0-4 weeks. College students would be great for this opportunity. | Downtown | Becoming an Adoption Ambassador will depend on the foster family and their availability. | Courtney Gumienny | 843-329-1577 | cgumienny@charlestonanimalsociety.org | www.charlestonanimalsociety.org | |||||||||||
