BENCHS is welcoming 2020 with additional dog walking hours! As of Saturday, January 18, 2020 BENCHS will be expanding Community Dog Walking hours to include Saturday and Sunday from 11 am- 1:30 pm. Many of you have expressed interest in walking our dogs, but have been unable to due to our limited hours during the week. We value your input and desire to be a part of our organization, so please join us on Saturdays and Sundays for additional dog walking hours!
As of Saturday, January 18, BENCHS will have Community Dog Walking on: Monday- 3pm to 5pm Tuesday- 3pm to 5pm Wednesday- 3pm to 5pm Saturday- 11am to 1:30pm Sunday- 11am to 1:30 pm Please note that all new dog walkers need to go through a 15 minute orientation prior to walking a dog. This orientation will cover some of our basic rules, policies and precautions. Our main priority is to keep you and the dogs safe when outside of the shelter. (Mon.-Wed. @ 2:45pm and Sat.-Sun. @ 10:45am) Lastly, before considering dog walking, anyone handling the dog on the leash needs to be 18 years or older. People 10 years and older may accompany an adult on the walk, as long as the adult is in control of the animal at all times. It is also recommended to wear appropriate dog walking clothes and closed toed shoes. Some of our dogs are still working on their dog walking etiquette, so please dress accordingly. Thank you for all of your feedback! We’re looking forward to seeing more community members at the shelter on the weekends!

ONLINE PRE-ADOPT FORMS
Completing a pre-adopt form gives BENCHS information about you as a pet owner and allows you to interact with the animals. You can complete one at the shelter or ahead of time by clicking the link below. Then come to the shelter where staff will review your information with you, determining approval for adoption. Sorry, we are not able to make contact regarding application approval. Completing this form does not place a hold on any certain animal.
