Live in the D reporter April Morton featured FAMD’s Doggy Day Out program on March 23 on ClickonDetroit.

Doggy Day Out allows volunteers to take an adoptable dog out to the volunteer’s home, or for a hike, or out for coffee. The opportunities are endless! FAMD supplies everything one needs for a fun day out with an animal that can benefit by acclimating to new people and environments.

“In a lot of shelters the dogs are so stressed that they actually burn about a double amount of calories. A shelter is supposed to be temporary so when they’re here for longer they can really start to fall apart. ‘Doggie Day Out’ allows them to hit the town while they are waiting for adoption,” Aubrey Cherry, Volunteer Coordinator & Programs Manager with Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit told Morton.
