We’re teaming up with the Humane Rescue Alliance for a heartwarming day out—and you’re invited to be part of it!

Spend the day giving shelter dogs a well-deserved break from the kennel as we take them on an enriching field trip through Rock Creek Park. We’ll enjoy a scenic group walk, soak up the fresh air, grab lunch together, and give these pups the love, attention, and socialization they thrive on.

This experience isn’t just fun—it makes a real impact. Time outside the shelter helps dogs relax, build confidence, and even improve their chances of finding a forever home.
