The program — now available in San Diego, El Cajon, Escondido and Oceanside — pairs volunteers and adoptable dogs to spend a day together outside the shelter
A puppy that is up for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society on Aug. 8, 2024. A program that offers people a chance to make a new dog friend, taking adoptable pups on drives, walks and even home before returning them at the end of the day, has come to neighborhoods countywide, San Diego Humane Society officials said.
Thompson said that for more than two years, the shelter has been over capacity with dogs and it is stressful for the animals to stay in the shelter for an extended period of time. Volunteers with the “Dog Day Out” program at the San Diego Humane Society prepare to take a dog out into the community. The outings also serve — in more ways than one — to get the animals in front of members of the community who might be in the market for a new pet, Thompson said. Not only does the dog meet community members outside a shelter setting, but the program also invites volunteers to take photos of videos of the dogs on the outings that can be used on the animal’s adoption profile and on the organization’s social media.
