Doggie Day Out

Make a dog’s day with a fun field trip away from the Adoption Center! By taking a dog out of the Adoption Center for just a few hours, you’ll provide them mental stimulation from new experiences and meeting new people as well as help them exert pent up energy. Another added bonus is that people who wouldn’t normally come down to the adoption center may meet their new furry friend through this program! You do not need to be a Paws4ever volunteer to participate in this program, but you will need to meet program qualifications and follow the guidelines below.

Prior to Taking a Dog Out:

Please sign up as a volunteer here to participate in a Doggie Day Out. You can schedule an orientation with our Outreach Coordinator to review DDO procedures.

Typical outings include:

- - Taking the dog on a walk around a quiet neighborhood, town, or trail
    - Find a list of our top suggestions for trails to hike with our dogs here.
  - Taking the dog through a drive-through (e.g. Starbucks for a pup cup)
  - Lunch at a pet-friendly restaurant
    - Local dog-friendly restaurants can be found on the website BringFido.com.
  - 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)

Paws4ever will provide a kit with all of the pet supplies you need for your Doggie Day Out!

Community Service Hours: Because it is unsupervised, the Doggie Day Out program cannot be used to fulfill community service hours that require verification by Paws4ever, whether for school, work, clubs, or other purposes.

Additional guidelines and agreement can be found in this document. The document and signature pages will be provided to you during your Doggie Day Out communications, but you are welcome to print and fill this information out directly from here.
