doggie day out

Take a shelter dog on a special day out or for an overnight stay

Check out our Doggie Day Out program

Give a dog a day out of the shelter! It's a chance for them to experience joy and freedom. And you'll love it just as much as they will!

 

This is a wonderful opportunity in the life of a shelter dog by giving the dog a break from the usual environment. You can take a dog for a walk on a local trail, grab a pup cup, visit dog-friendly breweries, relax at a park, or have an overnight stay in your home.
