Dog Day Out
Ready to take a pup out for a day of fun?
- Sign up online: The best way to secure your outing is to use our scheduler (see below). Spots are limited, so we strongly recommend registering in advance. We are not able to reserve a specific dog for you, but we will help you find the best fit for an adventure! Pick ups are typically at 9:15am, 11:15am, or 1:15pm to take a dog out for the day - and dogs need to be returned by 4:30pm that same day (this works Monday-Saturday).
- Walk-ins: Feeling lucky? You can try walking in, but there’s no guarantee a pup will be available. We can only accommodate walk-ins Monday through Friday, and the availability of dogs is limited.
- Saturdays: Online sign-ups only. No walk-in spots are available.
- Ask about turning your Dog Day Out into a Sleepover! A little extra time away from the shelter is always fun for our dogs - and for the humans too!
Field trips are quickly becoming known as a great way to find new foster caregivers, engage with the community, reduce kennel stress and get better information on a dog’s behavior. Field trips are helpful in marketing dogs for adoption, as potential adopters want to know what a dog looks and acts like outside of their kennel and the opportunity for creative photography, videography and stories is increased. Dog Day Out Trips… because field trips are fun, but field trips with dogs are better! Whether it’s a trip to Starbucks for a pup cup, a hike, or a quiet nap on your couch – our dogs love to go on adventures with humans! Getting out of a kennel setting for a few hours, all day, or even for a sleepover helps our dogs stay happy, healthy, and ready for adoption. And it’s fun for the humans, too!
