Dog Day Adventure Program
This program allows volunteers to take eligible shelter dogs on two-hour outings to dog-friendly locations. It provides enrichment for dogs and helps staff learn more about each dog, allowing for more personalized bios to support foster and adoption placement.
PAWS & More Executive Director, Amber Talbot, describes the research behind Dog Day Adventures and the importance of this program.
Public Microchipping
We see pets unexpectedly separated from their people every day. These animal want to go home but they need help. Compared to non-chipped dogs, those with microchips are 238% more likely to be reunited with their owners. The difference for cats is 2000%. PAWS can microchip your dog, cat, or, even, your rabbit at our shelter. We'll even take care of the registration paperwork. The cost is $35.
Rehoming Resources
PAWS & More is available as a resource for families who need to rehome their pets. We're willing to do a courtesy post on social media to help facilitate home-to-home transfers. You can also check out our Rehoming Resources or fill out an Owner Surrender Form for Cats or Dogs.
