Do you miss the feeling of school field trips? An experience away from class, with your friends, old and new... Why not get that feeling again with a Doggy Day Out at the ACC?

Doggy Day Outs are essentially field trips for our pets away from the shelter. Our Doggy Day Out program allows community members to take available shelter pets out for a day. This day could include walks around popular spots, a visit to the pet store, or a drive-thru for a pup cup, and more (as long as community members follow the laws and rules of businesses).

THE 3-3-3 RULE

If you adopted recently from the ACC or another rescue or shelter, you may have heard about the '3-3-3' rule.

This is a guideline to help understand what your new pet may be experiencing as they adjust to their new surroundings and family. They may be confused, anxious, and shy until they are used to you and your routine. These are similar behaviors pets experience when coming into the shelter.

Keep in mind, the 3-3-3 rule is a general guideline. Every animal is unique. It is important you allow the pet to get comfortable at their own pace. Just as people need time to adjust to new spaces and routines, so do our pets.
