dog day out
TAKE A DOG ON A FIELD TRIP!
Give a shelter dog a break from the kennels for a day! Studies show that even a few hours outside of the kennel environment can reduce stress levels in dogs.
Your outing can give vital insight on a dog’s personality outside of the shelter, give them peace and quiet, and meet potential adopters while out and about!
Take the day to go for walks, grab a pup cup, pamper them with a bath, have lunch at a pet-friendly restaurant, or opt for a cozy staycation in your home!
Be sure to take lots of pictures of your adventure and share them on your social media. Potential adopters love to see dogs enjoy a day out of the shelter!
