Take a dog on a daycation! 🌞🐾

Doggie Daycations give the public an opportunity to take our adoptable dogs out for a day away from the shelter. During your daycation, you are encouraged to take plenty of photos and videos, and fill out a report card at the end of your trip. The more photos and information we have for our adoptable dogs, the more they’ll stand out to potential adopters!

There will be multiple dogs to choose from for your daycation and you will be given options the morning of the daycation when you arrive at the shelter. Not every dog is eligible for a Daycation, and the dogs most in need of a Daycation are medium-to-large-sized dogs. We try to have a range of sizes and energy levels available to choose from, but may not always be able to accommodate requests for small or low-energy dogs. Please be prepared to handle a 40+ lb. dog for your Daycation. All supplies needed for a Daycation, including a harness and leash, will be provided.

If you have any questions about a Doggie Daycation, please email [email protected].

Meet Darius 🐶🦴

Darius is a Shepherd mix with a playful personality and plenty of love to give. This handsome boy is dog-friendly, kid-friendly, potty trained and ready to find a family to call his own!

Darius loves toys, treats and playtime, but he also knows how to relax and enjoy spending time with his people. He’s done great on outings and has shown that he can be a wonderful patio companion. He also enjoys car rides, cuddles and even being brushed!

He is a smart and curious pup who has been doing great with his leash training and loves getting out to explore. He’s always excited to see other dog friends. With his sweet nature, playful spirit and love for being part of the fun, Darius has so much potential to be an incredible companion. He’s currently enjoying time in foster care while he waits for someone special to make him part of their family.

If this sweet boy sounds like the missing piece to your family, apply to meet him and see if it’s a perfect match! 💛
