Woof! Woof! We have some exciting news to share as we wrap up the day!

Doggie Day Out is Open to the Public!

Starting next week, YOU can give a deserving shelter dog a pawsome day out! Our Doggie Day Out program is designed to help long-term shelter pups experience life outside the kennel and find their forever homes.

Here's how YOU can be a part of it:

🐾 Spend a day with a furry friend! Take a dog out for up to 4 hours and show them the world.

🐾 Help a dog relax and de-stress. Shelter life can be tough, but your love and attention will make a big difference.

🐾 Be a dog's hero! You could be the reason they find their forever family.

Ready to get started?

Here's what you need to know:

✅ Be 18+ with a valid ID and proof of address.

✅ Make an appointment at least 48 hours in advance ([email protected]).

✅ Review the program rules and guidelines:
