New Dog Field Trip Volunteer Program Helps Keep Canines Happy

We know better than anyone just how much dogs can benefit from time out of their kennels. To keep our dogs’ tails wagging while they stay with us, we have officially launched our new Dog Field Trip volunteer program, and those in our community are encouraged to participate!

During a dog field trip, an adoptable dog (who has been with AHS for more than 15 days) is taken out on a fun excursion, such as a hike, a coffee date or a meal at a pet-friendly location. Not only does the dog benefit tremendously from a change of scenery, extra socialization and a chance to have some straight-up fun, but human participants can also benefit by knowing their field trip helped brighten up a pup’s day.

Program details:

• Volunteers must be at least 21 years old (but friends and family can attend)
• Weekends only
• Currently only at our Nina Mason Pulliam South Mountain Campus

If you or someone you know would like to participate in the program, sign up today! You’ll surely have a blast, and our dogs will be so grateful!
