Want to help shelter dogs get adopted? The Foster Field Trip Coffee Break gives dogs who most need a break from shelter life some time away where they can be out in the real world, relax and decompress, and show off their true personalities. And, you can provide shelter with photos or videos they can use to attract adopters.

And, yes, coffee is involved. The shelter provides a Starbucks coupon for you, while your new buddy will get a Puppuccino. You take photos and short videos to share. The shelter provides car protection, clean-up supplies, and safety gear.

Each day they highlight 3 to 5 dogs on their website. And, if hanging out at Starbucks isn't your thing, they also need folks for regular foster field trips.
