Give a pet a much deserved break from the shelter with a Day-Date or Sleepover!

You can take a pet for an hour, a night, or a weekend. This program helps assist PAWS in learning more about these pets to help place them in the best suited home, gives them un-matched one-on-one attention, and offers a release from the shelter life. 

​

Date Ideas:

  • Go for a morning run

  • Coffee buddy

  • Park visit

  • Lunch break

  • And more!


Thank you for your help in caring for these homeless pets until they find their fur-ever homes!​​
