Overview
The ACCT shelter has a number of dogs who have been waiting longer than others for an adoptive home. These dogs are smart, loving, healthy, behaviorally adoptable dogs who, after spending so long in the shelter environment, may not appear as adoptable. These "long term residents" often exhibit depression or kennel stress, hurting their chances at adoption. The Pen Pal Program aims to improve the quality of life for these dogs and prioritize their adoption.
The Pen Pal Program is also an opportunity for volunteers who cannot foster an animal in their home to act as a kind of foster parent for a dog in the shelter by focusing on socialization, marketing and post-adoption support.
