***Update - Thank you to everyone that has shown interest in being a Holiday Host. We have had a great turnout and have more hosts than we will have dogs for. Please keep an eye on your emails and you will be notified on or before 12/22 if we have a dog for you. Thank you everyone and happy holidays to all of you.
In years past, we have turned to our army of volunteers to take home any dog that didn't get adopted through the Christmas Holiday. These Holiday Hosts gave the dogs a break from life in a kennel, added some fun to their own home and gave our hard working staff much needed and well deserved time off to enjoy their own families (sometimes with a Holiday guest of their own)
Like with most things, this year is different and it is looking like there will be more dogs than we have volunteers able to host. So we are turning to you to help.
The dogs leave our care on December 23rd and return December 26th. We provide anything you need - crate, food, toys, leash, etc. If something should go wrong, or you have any questions, we will be available to help you.
If you already have a processed adoption application on file or have been a Holiday Host in the past, you simply need to call the rescue to let us know you would like to host a dog for Christmas. 315-446-5970. If you do not, please complete the attached form and submit.
We cannot promise we will have a dog available, or one available that will be a good fit for a holiday visit. We hope we have enough variety of different homes that all the dogs will all enjoy the spirit of Christmas in the comfort of a home.
