Virtual Adoption

Southpaw’s Virtual Adoption Program

Love dogs but can’t bring one home right now? Maybe your housing doesn’t allow pets, or your lifestyle isn’t quite ready for a four-legged roommate. Whatever the reason, you can still make a life-changing difference for a dog in need through Southpaw’s Virtual Adoption Program.

​

How It Works

​

• Pick Your Pup: Browse our adoptable dogs and choose one to virtually adopt. Once you’ve selected, that dog is yours—no other virtual adopters will be matched with them until they find their forever home.

​

• Support Their Care: For just $10 a week ($40 a month), your contribution helps cover food, vet care, and daily needs while they wait for adoption.

​

• Send Some Love: Want to spoil your pup? You’re welcome to send toys, treats, or special gifts.

​

What You’ll Receive

​

• Exclusive Updates: Twice a week you’ll get a private update with photos, stories, and progress reports that aren’t shared publicly.

​

• Behind-the-Scenes Access: Be the first to hear when your dog has adoption applications or meet-and-greets.

​

• First Look at Adoption Photos: You’ll see your pup’s adoption photo before it’s shared with the world.

​

The Best Part

​

When your dog is adopted “in real life,” your virtual adoption ends. But you’ll always know that you helped support them every step of the way—right up to the moment they found their forever family.
