🐾❤️ A Day Can Change Everything ❤️🐾

Don't forget about our upcoming Dog Day Out on Wednesday, June 17th!

For our shelter dogs, a few hours outside of the kennel means so much more than just a day of fun. It means feeling the grass beneath their paws, enjoying new sights and smells, making new friends, and most importantly, feeling loved.

You don't have to do anything extravagant—a walk in the park, a car ride, a pup cup, or simply spending time together can make a world of difference for a dog waiting for a forever home.

Please consider opening your heart for a day and giving one of our deserving dogs a much-needed break from shelter life.

Every outing gives us valuable information about our dogs and helps them shine outside the shelter. You may just make their day and they might make yours too. ❤️🐾
