Host or Pawrtner with DBS Rescue
Events where are dogs are truly welcomed do more than raise awareness, they wag tails, and protect paws! Compared to the dog owners in America, dog friendly business are in short supply, but we are ready to bring adoptable dogs, along with proper handling and dog etiquette into environments want to do it right, (or are open to changing their mind and giving dog friendly business practices one more try with more support on their side!)
Ways to Pawrtner
-
Host an adoption-focused pop-up, at your gym, business or community space.
-
Add adoptable dogs to an existing event, we bring handlers and keep it safe
-
Sponsor a dog or event cost, to help cover supplies, training, and transport
-
Join as a vendor or in-kind donor, raffle items, services, giveaways, or supplies
-
Volunteer with event support, setup, check-in, dog handling support, education, table
Dog-friendly events commonly see 10-25% higher attendance, partner with us to turn that engagement into real impact for adoptable dogs. Texas alone has ~11-12 million households (rough estimate based on population) about 43% of those (~5 million) have dogs!
