Detroit Dogventures & The Greening of Detroit

Want to take a shelter dog on an adventure? Join Friends of Detroit Animal Care & Control and the Greening of Detroit for a special dogventure!

The dogs get a break from the shelter, we get valuable information about their behavior and personality, and they get exposure that can lead to adoption. It's a great activity to do with kids, and every dog comes equipped with a harness, collar, leash, and goody bag — no experience or equipment needed.
