Pawtential Bonds

Pawtential Bonds promotes the dog foster care system, turning individual pet
fostering experiences into an animal welfare movement. Through creative
workshops and a digital storytelling hub designed with NYC animal shelters
and fostering advocates, it mobilizes the passion of future dog caregivers,
strengthens the shelter-to-foster pathway, and makes fostering a more accessible,
supported possibility for dog lovers.
