Thank you for your interest in spending a fun-filled day out with one of our adoptable dogs!

This exciting initiative provides our dogs with valuable time outside the shelter, socialization, and an opportunity to unwind, relax and have fun!

A day outing with you is a big treat for them with little long term commitment from you. Often dogs can become stressed in shelter environments despite the walking and enrichment staff and volunteers provide.  Time spent out socializing will only help their chances of finding a loving home!

Some examples of outings can be walks in the park, trail hiking or some play time at your house/backyard. Please note, Dog Day Out days are currently available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and will expand to weekdays shortly.

Please complete the application below, and our team will be in touch to schedule your outing.

  • As part of our "Dog Day Out" program, we ask that all participants follow a few simple guidelines to ensure the safety and enjoyment of both you and the dog:

    1. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times when not confined to your home. 2. Use only SPCA-approved collars and harnesses provided at the time of pickup. 3. Provide plenty of water and breaks through the day and avoid areas with heavy traffic or loud noises that may stress the dog. 4. Return the dog by the agreed-upon time to avoid disrupting their feeding and care schedule at the shelter. 5. Contact the shelter immediately if there are any emergencies or issues with the dog during the outing. 6. Dogs cannot interact with other animals or children during their outings.
