“Check Me Out” Program

Come to the shelter and “check out” an adoptable dog for the afternoon!

You can check the dog out and take it out of the shelter OR you can stay inside and snuggle OR take the dog out into the yard to play.

No appointment needed – just show up during our “check me out” program hours, fill out a liability and info form, and enjoy time with our shelter dog guests. If you choose to take the dog offsite, the LIFE House For Animals will provide you with dog supplies to take with you.

April “check me out” program dates are:

Saturday, April 5th, 2025, 11 AM – 2 PM ET
Saturday, April 26th 2025, 1 PM – 4 PM ET

Some ideas for an outing outside of the shelter might include:

– a trip to the Capitol downtown
– a walk at Cove Springs
– a trip for a pup cup
– a walk around a local pet store
– chill out in your home
– a walk around Prevention Park

Our dog adoption volunteer team will help pair you up with an adoptable dog that matches the size/energy level that you desire. We encourage families or single folks to participate.
