Bradshaw Animal Shelter’s new doggy field trip program gives shelter pups a break from their kennels with a fun day out on the town!
How it Works
We have a pre-selected list of dogs available. When you schedule your appointment online, please tell us about your comfort level, skill level, and preferred dog size so we can make the best match.
If no dates are showing, that means the program is fully booked. Please check back later for openings.
No — we’ll provide a backpack with a leash, harness, water, and other supplies. You’ll also receive emergency contact information and guidance during your meet-and-greet.
Yes, but please use caution. You know your children best — slow and safe introductions are recommended. Let staff know in advance if you plan to bring your kids so we can match you with the right pup.
No. For safety reasons, please do not introduce shelter dogs to other dogs in public, at home, or at dog parks. If you have questions, ask during your meet-and-greet.
We’d love to see them! Please send all photos and notes about your outing to countyanimalcare@saccounty.gov.
During your meet-and-greet, we’ll review a full list of dos and don’ts.
