Doggie Outings Program
Our outings program was put in place in an effort to lower shelter stress and give people an opportunity to get to know shelter dogs.
PUPPIES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR DOG DATES, SLEEPOVERS, DOG HIKES, OR DOg WALKING. DOGS MUST BE OVER 6 MONTHS OLD AND SPAYED/NEUTERED TO PARTICIPATE.
Doggie Date
Must be 18yrs or older with valid photo I.D. to take a dog on a doggy date. Our dogs love a chance to get out of the kennel! Doggy Dates are a great way to help decrease shelter stress. Looking for something for you and your children to do this summer? Take a shelter dog out for the day.
Sleepover
Know what’s even more fun than a doggy date? A slumber party! Thinking about fostering, but not sure if it’s for you? Try a sleep-over. Sleep-Overs are like a doggy date, but they get to spend the night with you and return to the shelter the next day. If you absolutely loved having a shelter dog stay at your place, you can become a foster.
Dog Hikes
Love dogs and exploring the great outdoors? So do we! We host monthly dog hikes from March-Nov. The event is open to the public (tell your friends)! Hikers must be 18yrs or older with valid photo I.D. or 16yrs and accompanied by a parents or guardian. Shelter dogs love to take field trips! Hikers must be able to transport at least one dog from the shelter to hiking location and back. (Airline kennels are available to borrow, but quantities are limited.)
Dog Walking
Must be 18yrs or older with valid photo I.D. Dog walking is open to the public. Dog walkers do not have to attend a formal volunteer orientation. Dog walking hours Monday-Friday 11 am-5:00 pm and Saturday 10 am-4 pm.
