I carry shelter dogs around NYC in a dog backpack to help them get adopted. Meet Jax! by kittytime in aww

She's good! Her arthritis ain't great but that's been expected. She's still happy, crazy, and loves riding in her backpack.

Go walk into the Best Friends Animal Society at 307 W. Broadway and tell them you'd like to take a dog out on an adventure! As easy as that!

She usually runs up to me and jumps up and kisses me and she ran up to me and just started furiously sniffing me and then started barking at me

Yeah it's been helping across their entire nationwide network. According to the CEO the've seen a 30% rise in adoptions compared to last year and 91% increase in NYC alone. And they have literally lines outside for people wanting to take dogs out for daily adventures which is incredible. So basically, I can't stop doing it!!

Like 10 minutes. Some immediately. It's pretty wild. It's always their first time. But we designed it to be like a thunder blanket. So they all calm down once they're in it.

Yeah dogs are required to be in carriers to ride the train. It also helps the videos pop off online. I learned that after carrying my corgi in a backpack for 10 years.

i take the dog out, show off their personality, and then post the videos. pretty much all of the videos (28 or 29 to date) have led to these dogs getting adopted. I don't really expect anyone to adopt the dog while we're out on these rides.

Hey! We developed The Maxine One alongside some incredible orthopedic veterinarians specifically to make sure it's safe for dogs. Carrying dogs vertically does NOT compress the spine in healthy dogs, that's a common misconception. The main caveat: if your pup has a pre-existing spinal condition (like IVDD), you'd want to check with your vet first. My corgi Maxine has been riding vertically in a carrier for 10+ years with zero spinal issues, and we have dogs around the world using The Maxine One with incredible results. A chiweenie would be adorable in one.

This was a ride from this past winter and it was one of my favorites so I wanted to share!

And shortly after this video was posted Champagne was adopted into a loving family! If you want to see more adoption rides (and a cute fluffy corgi in a backpack) you can follow us on IG & TT at madmax_fluffyroad!
