Connect Pets with Families with The Milo Foundation at Mobile Adoption Events
The Milo Foundation bring their adoptable residents directly to the community through a series of mobile adoption events held throughout the month. Volunteers in this role help showcase a select group of dogs and cats—many of whom are currently in foster care—to potential adopters in high-traffic areas. They assist with event setup, handle the animals safely during "meet and greets," and provide information to the public about the foundation's mission to save animals from high-kill shelters. These outreach activities are a critical part of their strategy to find the perfect match for their animals, allowing people to meet and fall in love with their next family member in a relaxed, local setting. This is a high-impact role for those who enjoy public interaction and advocacy. 16+ for dog handling; 12+ for cat socialization with a guardian
Have An Adventure With An Adoptable Dog at Dog’s Day Out from OC Animal Care
OC Animal Care’s Dog’s Day Out program gives volunteers and the community the opportunity to take a dog off campus for a fun activity outside of the shelter. These field trips provide our dogs exposure to new adventures, help them relax, show off their true personalities, and connect with potential adopters all while giving participants a meaningful experience. The program helps socialize dogs and makes them more adoptable when they return to the shelter. Studies by VCA Charities show that dogs participating in Dog’s Day Out type programs are 5 to 14 times more likely to be adopted! Click here to sign up: https://www.ocpetinfo.com/dogsdayout
