FIELD TRIP WITH A SHELTER DOG!

We are so excited to announce our Field Trip With a Shelter Dog Program! These field trips are a great opportunity for the dogs to get a break from the shelter with some one-on-one time with people. Field Trips are available Wednesday-Monday: we open up the schedule 1 month in advance, but spots do fill up fast! If you do not see an opening check back soon!

Due to staffing and supply needs, As of 6/1/24 we will be requiring a $25 donation for all field trips.

We accept Cash, Venmo, Paypal or Card at pick-up!

How does it work?

Schedule your pick up date and pick up at 8am!. We will match you with a large breed dog for your planned adventure when you arrive at our facility. We will make sure you are all set with a crate and the proper training tools for the day and off you go! (Please remember you must have space for a large crate!) Please follow our Field Trip Rules and drop off at our facility no later than 3pm.

Where can i take the dog for the day?

There are endless hikes in the area as well as local parks! We are open to whatever adventure you have in mind as long as you are within 2 hours of our facility. We can also provide suggestions upon request.
