Shelter Tours
Field Trips
Schedule your team, class or troop for a behind-the-scenes look at our shelter and gain up-close insight into our day-to-day operations.
This 2-hour event includes a full shelter tour. Following the tour, guests will have the unique opportunity to participate in presentations and Q&As with our specialized departments—such as Medical, Nursery, or Behavior. Guests will also participate in a hands-on volunteering activity. Groups of 20 or fewer may select the “animal interaction” add-on for 1-on-1 time with puppies or kittens instead of the volunteer activity.
Great for ages 8 and up! Groups with children under 16 years old must be accompanied by adults. Field Trips may accommodate groups of up to 40 individuals.
