Volunteers may take shelter dogs on field trips as part of the Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center’s Pupventures program. dogs are typically available, ranging from low maintenance to highly rambunctious. “Even if someone is inexperienced with dogs, we should have a dog they can walk,” she said. Only dogs available for adoption are able to go on field trips. Each canine is put through a behavior assessment and a personality assessment based on the
American SPCA’s Meet Your Match program. Before handing over the leashes, Golub and her staff members ensure that volunteers are qualified and prepared for the responsibility of caring for a dog, even if it is just for a few hours.

Want to make a difference in the life of a dog but cannot commit to full-time ownership? Then you might be a candidate for Pupventures, a program of the Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center. Center volunteers have been taking dogs staying at the shelter, 848 S. Prince St., Lancaster, on adventures in the community. “We have volunteers take the dogs out almost every day,” said site manager Rachel Golub. “We have a list of approved locations for volunteers to take the dogs to as well as general rules for taking the dogs out, such as no greeting other dogs, no going to dog parks, and no one under 18 is allowed to handle the dog. Most people take the dogs to one of the nature preserves, hiking trails, or parks on our approved location list, but they can opt to go to places like Lowe’s or Splits & Giggles as long as we’ve cleared the dog to go ahead of time.” Volunteers are asked to spend a minimum of two hours at a time on adventures with the dogs. While experienced dog owners are preferred, Golub noted that everyone is welcome to volunteer, as all types of
