Four weeks ago we launched Wandering Rover, our doggie day out program. We are so grateful to the community who has embraced our program and helped so many dogs already!
Since our July 17th launch, we've facilitated more than 110 day-trip adventures for our shelter dogs, some going out multiple times a week.
We've already seen an improvement in our dogs' stress and anxiety in the shelter and we are learning so much about them that we wouldn't otherwise learn. This helps us to improve our pet profiles, increase their chances of a quick adoption along with all the benefits of a day outside their kennel! We are so grateful to the numerous community members who have embraced our program and chosen to spend a day with a shelter dog.
Our dogs have been to parks, beaches, on hikes, to breweries, coffee shops and restaurants, on ferries and so much more!
Thanks to all that have helped us make this program a reality! To learn more, visit our website: https://www.everettwa.gov/3212/Wandering-Rover
