Providing dogs with social interaction, as well as physical and mental stimulation are critical factors for maintaining their behavioral health. Enrichment programs can help relieve shelter dog boredom and stress, which can make a major difference in a shelter dog’s daily life. The best types of enrichment, for most dogs, involve interaction with people or other dogs.

Our shelter provides small dog runs for daily exercise but lacks an open space for dogs to thrive. We are thrilled to have been given the authorization to utilize a large area behind our shelter in Chatham to create such as space. We have been saving up to start this large project and will be fundraising for the next few months to complete it.

If you too feel that shelter dogs should be given the best until they can find their very own home, consider a donation and please share our posts!
