DOGGIE EXPAWDITION

Take a Shelter Dog Out for a Day of Adventure!

Doggie Expawdition is a fun, low-commitment way to make a difference in a shelter dog’s life. When you participate, you’ll take one of our adoptable dogs out for the day — whether it’s a walk around town, a hike in the woods, a trip to the pet store, or just relaxing together at home.



This program gives shelter dogs a chance to stretch their legs, enjoy new experiences, and spend quality time with people — all while getting a much-needed break from the shelter environment.

Why Participate?

  • Reduce stress for shelter dogs by offering fresh air, enrichment, and a change of scenery.
  • Support adoption efforts by helping dogs practice good social behaviors and get noticed by more people.
  • Give back without a long-term commitment — even a few hours of your time can make a big impact.
