Every adoptable pet deserves a chance to put their best paw forward.

The Project Paw-sitivity: Best Paw Forward Patch celebrates creativity, compassion, and helping adoptable animals make a great first impression.

For an animal waiting for a home, a great adoption photo can make a difference. A colorful bandana, an adorable bow tie, or another handmade accessory can help show off an animal’s personality, add a little extra charm to their photos, and help potential adopters stop scrolling long enough to take a closer look.

With Best Paw Forward, kids can put their creativity to work making bandanas, bow ties, bows, or other shelter-approved accessories for adoptable pets. Projects can be sewn or no-sew, simple or elaborate, making this an approachable service activity for a wide range of ages and skill levels.

Along the way, kids can learn about animal shelters and rescues, what pets need while waiting for homes, and some of the many ways volunteers help animals beyond feeding, walking, and cleaning. They can also discover how photos, descriptions, enrichment, fostering, and community outreach can help introduce adoptable animals to potential families.

Work with a local shelter or rescue to find out what they can use, then break out the fabric, patterns, and creativity. You might even get to see your creations modeled by the very animals you're hoping to help!

A handmade accessory may be a small contribution, but sometimes a little extra personality is exactly what it takes to help someone notice the pet they’ve been looking for.

This patch celebrates helping adoptable animals look and feel their best while they wait for the most important accessory of all: a family of their own.
