We ask that you do not bring your personal dog to the shelter during pick-up or drop-off.
If you would like your Doggy Day Out companion to meet your resident dog, please let us know in advance. This allows our team to help match you with the best fit, share what we know about the dog’s personality and history, and provide guidance to help set both dogs up for a successful introduction.
Once you have left the shelter, you may choose to introduce the shelter dog to your resident dog at your home or in a neutral location. Please keep in mind that every dog is different, and shelter dogs may not always display their full personality while in our care. For everyone’s safety, introductions should be made slowly, carefully, and under close supervision.
The Washington County Humane Society is not responsible for any injuries, damages, or veterinary expenses that may result from interactions between a shelter dog and personal pets. Participants assume all responsibility for any introductions made during their Doggy Day Out experience.
