Doggy Dates and Slumber Parties

Whether it's an hour, a night, or a week, you can make a difference in a pets life!

Our Doggie Date program gives you an opportunity to provide a homeless pet a much deserved break from the shelter life. This invaluable experience helps them to retain and develop important social skills until they are adopted, and has been shown to reduce stress so they are happier, healthier, and can ease into their new home with a more smooth transition. Plus it's fun for all!
