Dogs On The Town Field Trips

Give a shelter dog a much needed break from the kennel by going on a field trip around the 419! Maybe a joy ride to a local drive-thru or a stroll at a Metropark, whatever it is, the pup will have a blast going on an adventure with you!  

How It Works

Dog pick up is from 9:45 am - 10:45 am. You check in at the adoption desk and we get the dog we have matched with you based on your answers in the signup.  You must be registered in order to participate in the event. We cannot accept walk-ins due to the screening process.

You will likely be matched with a "pitbull" type dog as most of the dogs in our care are pitbulls. A collar, harness, leash, map of local parks, and a dog-goodie bag will be provided to all participants. 

Dogs must be returned to the shelter by 4:00 pm so they can get ready for dinner. If you want to make your pup a permanent part of your family, we ask that you come back by 3:30 pm so we have adequate time to complete the necessary paperwork.
