Santa Rosa County Animal Services is relaunching the Doggy Day Out program on Wed., July 1, to pair members of the community with shelter dogs for daytime field trips. Outings can last from one hour to all day and can include a hike, puppuccino from a local coffee shop, or even lunch at a pet-friendly restaurant.
The Doggy Day Out Program was created to help reduce kennel stress and provide dogs with enrichment and increased visibility. Since the program began last year, 78 dogs have participated in the program and all have been adopted.
