Notice:
Doggy’s Day Out will continue on an appointment-only basis. Please call 864-467-3985 to make an appointment.

Greenville County Animal Care is NOT taking new volunteer applications at this time.

Have a fun-filled day of adventure with a shelter dog by your side with the Doggy’s Day Out program. Go on a hike, have the brunch date of your dreams, snuggle up on the couch and binge your favorite show, or spend the day doing your favorite dog-friendly activity! Time outside of the shelter gives dogs a chance to de-stress and let their true personality shine. By getting to know your Doggy’s Day Out friend, you can help us learn valuable information that will help us find him or her the perfect forever home. Make sure you use social media to post about your day of fun so all of your friends can see. You never know if their future forever family could see it!

There's no prior experience or training required to participate in Doggy's Day Out, and you do not need to fill out the foster application, just make an appointment. As a Doggy's Day Out volunteer, you’ll get a backpack kit with everything you need* to have a fun day with your dog.
Be sure to read the program manual before you come to pick up a dog.

Call 864-467-3985 to make an appointment to pick up a dog for an adventure.

*As a safety precaution during COVID-19, we ask that you bring your own water bowl for your Doggy's Day Out.
