What if there was a program available to help shelters with their foster and adopt programs? There is and it’s called the Doggy Day Out program.

Today’s guest, Finnegan Dowling, is the Shelter Program and Social Media Manager for Mutual Rescue, a national initiative of Humane Society Silicon Valley that encourages people to engage with their local shelters.  A graduate of The Evergreen State College, her writing has also been published in The Bark, Bay Woof, SFGate and Huffington Post.

Finn has worked in shelters in Washington State, Colorado, California and Nicaragua.   A key part of her current position involves helping shelters across the country start and market day fostering programs. She is the creator of the Doggy Day Out Toolkit, a free resource of manuals and templates to help even the smallest shelters start programs of their own. She lives in Corpus Christi, Texas, with her husband and Waylon, her neurotic pit bull.
