Dog Field Trips

Take a Shelter Dog on a Field Trip

Our dogs would love to spend time out of their kennels with you! Volunteer to take an adoptable dog out for a fun outing such as a hike, a coffee date, or a meal at a pet friendly location.  Field trips can last from an hour to all day. Whatever works for you, works for us!

About Field Trips

We will match you with a dog appropriate for your leash-handling comfortability. 

• Dogs must remain on a leash at all times
• No nose-to-nose meets with other dogs
• No dog parks

Not sure where to take your field trip companion? Here are some ideas:

For the adventurous dog:

• Wildwood Park, Harrisburg. Variety of trails and distances.
• Schiavoni Park, Hummelstown. Low impact, short paved trail with shallow ater access.
• Detweiler Park, Harrisburg. 7 miles of nature trails.
• Bullfrog Valley Park, Hershey. Paved trail (can be heavily populated on weekends).

For the low-key dog:

• Go for ice cream and hang out
• Netflix and Chill. Hang out at your house for some decompression/nap time.
• Go for a drive
• Rest outside on a blanket in the sunshine
