Shelter Paws
Our Shelter Paws program lets you take a dog for the day - or even a few hours. The goal is to make that dog more friendly and adoptable, and give the dog a break from the shelter! Take a walk in the park, go for a hike or a run, watch a movie at home, or get a puppuccino!
Requirements
- Be 18 years old.
- Have a photo ID.
- Have a reliable vehicle.
- Be dog friendly.
