Try out Fostering with a Shelter Pet STRAYCATION and/or BOROUGH BREAK! (Click here for more!)
Make your weekend a shelter pet’s getaway and take a dog on a Straycation!
A Straycation is a short-term foster where a shelter dog gets to leave the kennel and enjoy time in a real home. Think of it as a mini vacation from the shelter, with all the comforts that come with it: a couch, a walk around the block, or simply a quiet nap by your side. It is an easy way for anyone to make a big difference in a dog’s life.
By giving dogs a break from the shelter, we help them recharge, shine, and get one step closer to finding their forever homes.
Why It Helps Dogs:
🐶 Stress relief: Even a short break from the shelter lowers stress and helps dogs relax.
🌟 Better behavior: Dogs show their true personalities outside the shelter, making adoptions easier.
📸 Great exposure: Fosters share photos and stories that attract potential adopters.
💕 Emotional boost: A few days of love builds confidence and well-being.
🏡 Flexible for fosters: No long-term commitment needed, just 3 days makes a difference.

BoroughBreaks
Animal Care Centers of NYC’s (ACC) ‘BoroughBreak’ program pairs members of the community with shelter dogs for field trips! Outings can last from one hour to all day and can include a hike, a trip to the beach, a fun car ride, or even a long nap at home. Whether you already have a dog or aren’t ready to have one, it’s a great way to get your pet fix in.
The BoroughBreak program was created in order to help reduce kennel stress and provide dogs with enrichment and increased visibility. Outings give the shelter valuable insight into how the dogs behave outside a shelter environment. It’s also a great excuse to spend a day doing something new or exploring New York City.
