Independent Brand Ambassador — Paws & Pours Collective (Georgia)

Rescue Dog Wines | Independent Contractor (1099) | Commission-Based About the Engagement

Looking for a way to connect your passion for premium wines with your desire to support animal advocacy? Look no further.

At Rescue Dog Wines, our business is producing fine wines from the Lodi region. Our passion is helping rescue dogs. We work with more than 200 rescue partner organizations and share their stories with a community of over 100,000 followers.

We are building our Paws & Pours Collective — a network of independent brand ambassadors who represent Rescue Dog Wines in the field. Working alongside our distributor partners, ambassadors further our mission to support the placement of as many dogs as possible by growing awareness and sales of our wines.

This is an independent contractor engagement, not employment. You set your own schedule, use your own methods, and are free to represent other brands and clients.

Engagements vary by market and season. Work may include:

• Building relationships with retailers, on-premise accounts, and community partners
• Representing the brand in the field alongside distributor partners

• Representing Rescue Dog Wines at experiential events — galas, charity events, and outdoor festivals
• Pouring and presenting at tasting events with retail and on-premise accounts
• Submitting event recaps and results to your Rescue Dog Wines point of contact

Successful ambassadors grab attention through enthusiasm and genuine passion — and have fun doing it. Comfort with direct customer engagement and selling is essential.
