Sarah Aguilar, Director of Santa Barbara County Animal Services, describes how she and her small team started their Dog Day Trip program, which offers volunteers some doggie time while dogs get out of the shelter for a few hours. Treating the program as very-short-term-foster, Sarah and her team built on their existing systems and saw immediate benefits in dog well-being, adoptions, and volunteer engagement. Hear how they did it, what they learned along the way, and what’s next for the program.
