What Is Dogs’ Day Out?
This program lets community members take one of our adoptable dogs out of the shelter for a day filled with fun and exploration!
You can:
- Take them for a hike or a park stroll.
- Treat them to a pup cup at a drive-thru.
- Visit a dog-friendly store for a shopping spree.
- Create your own adventure—the possibilities are endless.
Requirements:
- A reliable vehicle where the dog can be safely restrained or crated for transport.
- A valid driver’s license to be copied at the shelter.
- Participants must arrive at 9:00 a.m. at the Brougher Companion Animal Shelter – York County SPCA, 3159 N. Susquehanna Trail, York, PA 17406.
- Basic safety and handling instructions will be provided before you leave.
Important Details:
- Participants will lap around our facility with their assigned dog to ensure comfort and handling.
- Dogs must be returned to the shelter by 4:00 p.m.
- After the event, please complete a “Dogs’ Day Out” report card to share how your dog enjoyed their adventure. Access the report card here. https://form.jotform.com/240396203250043
