Whatever your weekend plans are, our shelter pups would love a mini vacation with you. Our dogs benefit greatly when they take a break from the shelter, and the information you share helps us better match them with potential adopters.

Take a dog home for  Straycation

Pets eligible for this program primarily include medium to large dogs. We ask that you commit to at least three days: pick up on Friday and drop off on Sunday. You are more than welcome to keep the dog as long as you’d like after that. We’ll provide you with a crate and food for the weekend!

#STRAYCATION: WHAT TO EXPECT

WHEN YOU ARRIVE

  • We’ll provide you with a sturdy leash, collar, an “Adopt Me” vest/bandana, crate, starter food, and the dog’s
    CARE STL business cards.

  • Place a towel or sheet in your car for the dog to rest on.

  • Make sure you are comfortable with the dog. We want both you and the dog to have a successful outing.

DURING THE WEEKEND

  • Keep the dog on a leash and in your control (within 6 feet of you) at all times while in public.

  • Dog parks are NEVER allowed, and avoid feeding the dog human food.

  • Take many photos and videos, and send them to info@icarestl.org.

  • HAVE FUN!
