These "field trips" short-term excursions can include walks, hikes, trips to parks, or even visits to a volunteer's home,, dog-friendly places like coffee shops or parks. Allowing the pups burn energy, and increase visibility to potential adopters. Volunteers get to enjoy the companionship of a dog, experience the joy of helping a shelter animal, and potentially play a role in the dog's adoption. Studies have shown that dogs who participate in these programs are more likely to be adopted. By getting dogs out into the community, they become more visible to potential adopters and have the opportunity to showcase their personalities. Be short-term foster without the full commitment of adoption. The dog is returned to the shelter at the end of the outing.

Simply complete an on-line volunteer form to get started.
