Doggy's Day Out Program (DDO) gives an available shelter pup a chance to get out of the stressful shelter environment. This also gives us the opportunity to learn more about the pup or you never know ... sometimes they even meet their forever family while out.


  1. Are you active? You can take a dog for a walk or a hike.
  2. Are you more of a couch potato? You can take a dog home to cuddle and watch your favorite movies.
  3. Are you more of a foodie? You can take a dog out for a pup cup or to a dog-friendly restaurant.


The options are endless, and you also get to make a shelter dogs day just a little bit brighter.


Fosters must be at least 18 years of age. A valid driver's license and proof of address is required. Dog parks and any off-leash adventures are NOT allowed during a Doggy's Day Out.
