Background:
Dogs Playing for Life is a nonprofit with a mission to enhance the quality of life of shelter dogs and to increase life-saving adoptions. The programs help dogs to become more socialized and well-suited for family adoptions. Long-term warehousing of dogs in kennel facilities can create physical and emotional needs, particularly for those who struggle with behaviors that are perceived as aggressive. Dogs Playing for Life effectively tackles these critical issues shelter dogs face with a novel, hands-on approach that revolves around opportunities to play in groups every day.
Requested Action:
Staff requests the Board approve and authorize the Chairman to execute the agreement with Dogs Playing for Life.
