Doggie Day Out
Experience the joy of Doggie Day Out with HSTB. Spend quality time with an adoptable shelter dog while giving them a break from the shelter environment, extra exercise, socialization, and a better chance to meet their future family.
Why Join Doggie Day Out?
A few hours away from the shelter can brighten a dog’s day and help them shine for potential adopters.
Make a Difference
Even a short outing can lower stress, boost happiness, and improve behavior for dogs waiting for homes.
Flexible and Fun
You choose the adventure. Take a stroll in the park, visit a favorite spot, or relax together at home.
Be a Hero
Share your experience on social media and help more people meet your furry companion.
