The Adoption Ambassadors program, originally developed at the
Louisiana SPCA, empowers those who foster animals to become adoption counselors
on behalf of their local shelters. Once they complete program orientations at
participating shelters, ambassadors take home adoptable dogs or cats and pledge
to help those animals find safe and loving homes through word of mouth, social
media posts and emails to friends and family, or by hitting the streets with
their foster pets. Ambassadors can even process adoptions themselves, returning
adoption application/surveys and any applicable fees to the shelter.
The grant funding will enable the participating shelters to
purchase tools and supplies they’ll need to run a successful program, including
food, litter and other supplies for their fosters; marketing expenses to
promote the program; and supplies to increase exposure, like “Adopt Me” vests
and leashes, t-shirts and more.
This round of grant funding included two New
Jersey groups: the Liberty Humane Society in Jersey
City and St. Hubert’s Animal
Welfare Center
in Madison.
