Rescue Dog Recess
One-Hour Adventures That Help Rescue Dogs Take the Next Step Home.
At Creature Comforts of Columbia, our care goes beyond the pets we serve at home. We believe all dogs should be loved, spoiled & properly exercised, including dogs still waiting for their forever homes. Through our Rescue Dog Recess program, we partner with Unchained Melodies Dog Rescue to give adoptable dogs the break, enrichment, and attention they deserve while they wait for home.
Each Rescue Dog Recess is a one-hour adventure led by a trained and insured Creature Comforts professional. These outings provide enrichment, movement, and positive one-on-one attention. They give rescue dogs the space to relax, grow their confidence, and be their happy, goofy selves.
It’s more than a walk. It’s recess!
Why Rescue Dog Recess Matters
Rescue dogs often experience stress, uncertainty, and limited stimulation while waiting for their forever homes. It can take years for some of the pups to find their fit. Even the MOST dedicated rescue teams have limited time and resources.
Rescue Dog Recess helps by:
-
Giving dogs an enriching experience outside their routine
-
Reducing stress and pent-up energy
-
Building confidence and real-world skills
-
Providing insight into each dog’s personality and needs
-
Creating photos and stories that help rescue pups get noticed.
