HATTIESBURG, Miss. (WDAM) – If you’re a dog lover but not fully ready for adoption, Southern Pines has just the program for you: Dog’s Day Out.
Looking for something fun to do with your afternoon? Interested in spending time with a dog but can’t have one in your dorm room? Just looking to get your dose of dog? This program offers all of that.
You can check out a dog for the day, go for a walk, hit the beach, go out to lunch or just hang out at home!
“We have seen hundreds if not thousands of dogs throughout this program. It’s an amazing program for our dogs because it gets them out of the kennel. Being stuck in their kennel can cause kennel stress. This program lets them get their wiggles out, it lets them get some engagement around town, and it just helps their overall adoptability,” Dani Snell, Southern Pines’ Philanthropy and Marketing Manager said.
If you’re interested, stop by the shelter during business hours 12-5, except Wednesdays!
