Doggie Day Out

Program Qualifications:

• Participants in this program must be at least 18 years of age or older

• Participants must have a valid drivers license.

• Participants must have valid auto insurance.

• Dogs must be spayed or neutered and be up to date on all applicable vaccines.

Prior to Taking a Dog Out:

Please email volunteer@paws4ever.org to participate in a Doggie Day Out.  We ask that you try to give at least 72 hours notice so that arrangements can be made.

The email request should include:

• The date(s) you are interested in taking a dog out. Typically, participants take a dog out and bring them back the same day, however, if you are interested in keeping a dog overnight this can be an option depending on what other people/animals you have at your home.
• The time you are hoping to pick up and drop off the dog. Typically, we prefer pick-up and drop-off between 9:00AM and 4:30PM.
• Do you have any limitations to which dog you’d be willing to take (for example, size or a level of pulling on the leash that you are comfortable with)? As a note, most of the dogs that we have are medium or large and although they may not pull consistently, they may pull if they see another dog/squirrel/or other exciting stimuli. We have small dogs sometimes, but since they tend to go more quickly than the larger ones, we may not always have them available for this program.
• If there are certain places they are hoping to take the dog. Typical suggested outings include:

• • • Taking the dog on a walk around a quiet neighborhood, town, or trail

    • Taking the dog through a drive-through (e.g. Starbucks for a pup cup)

    • Lunch at a pet-friendly restaurant

    • Snuggling at home while watching a movie (note: this may not be appropriate if you have small children and/or other pets in your home)
