SPONSORED SHELTER BREAKOUTS
GIVE A SHELTER DOG A DAY TO REMEMBER
Because Every Dog Deserves a Break From The Kennel
At Paws Up!, we believe every dog deserves more than just a roof and a bowl. They deserve fresh air, freedom, and a chance to be their true, joyful selves.
Our Sponsored Shelter Breakouts give adoptable dogs in Charleston a 90-minute adventure outside the shelter. These outings help them relax, recharge, and show off their amazing personalities. They also increase their chances of getting adopted by helping the community see how they SHINE outside the shelter environment.
When you sponsor a Breakout, you're not just giving a dog a fun day. You're helping them get one step closer to a new beginning.
Why Sponsor a Shelter Breakout?
Mental and Physical Enrichment
A break from the kennel helps reduce stress, boost confidence, and give dogs a chance to simply enjoy being a dog.
More Eyes on Adoptable Dogs
We capture their outing in photos and stories and share them with our community to help them get noticed.
It Makes a Real Difference
For just $50, you're providing a meaningful, joyful experience to a dog who truly needs it.
​The shelters in the Charleston, SC area are extremely overcrowded, and many community members want to help but don’t know how. By sponsoring a SHELTER BREAKOUT, you’re providing a much-needed break for a shelter dog and helping them become more adoptable!
​
When we take a shelter dog out for an adventure it not only helps them decompress and get some socialization, we also gather information and report how they react to people, other dogs, and different environments, which gives the shelter great information about them so they are able to place them in the perfect home.

Sponsor Spotlight
"We sponsored a Doggie Date with Paws Up! for a dog at a local shelter. Kimberly spent the day with Karlo, giving him a shelter break, a few adventures, a pup cup, and an opportunity to be seen by potential adopters. This is a wonderful service and I hope more people sponsor a Doggy Date (Shelter Breakout) for a shelter resident. They even send pictures and videos of the doggie's big day!"
