Employer Adoption Match™

Your employer funds your adoption. You bring home a shelter dog.

The Employer Adoption Match program partners with companies to match employee adoption fees as charitable contributions to Second Leash Foundation.

An employee at a participating company adopts a shelter dog.

  • The company matches the adoption fee.

  • The employee's adoption is covered.

  • The company makes a tax-deductible donation.

  • Second Leash Foundation places a dog in a home.

Every employer adoption match is a story, a named employee, a named dog, and a company that made it possible.

For Employees

Check if your company is a partner.

Check if your company is a Second Leash Foundation Employer Adoption Match partner. If they are, your shelter dog adoption fee is matched — and your adoption carries your company's name as the reason it happened.

Does your company not participate yet? Share this page with your HR team or corporate giving contact. Sometimes all it takes is one employee who asks.
