Their visit was part of a program from the St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center that lets volunteers take dogs out on day trips for a few hours to give them a break from the stress of being in a shelter. MADISON, N.J. — The place where Finlee lives is nice enough: It’s clean, they feed and care for him well and there are always people to pet and scratch him.
She said dogs that leave the shelter even for two or three days show noticeable reductions in stress as measured by their cortisol levels. Nationwide, she said, dogs that go on field trips can be five times more likely to be adopted than those that don’t.The field trip program is particularly popular with people who love dogs but live in places where pets are not allowed.
It started a day trip program called “Wandering Rover” on July 17, and placed four dogs with adoptive families in the first four days it operated. In addition to perking the dogs up, it’s an ingenious way to interest people in potentially adopting the animals as well. The shelter facilitates 2,300 adoptions a year, and at least half of those animals had at least one day trip with a volunteer, Sangree said.
They took Finlee out to a park near the shelter, where he sniffed everything within range of his wet, black nose. A droopy plant was of particular interest, but so too, seemingly, was every blade of grass along the walking path through the park.
