Have you ever heard of a canine sleepover? Now is your chance to show a dog some love because Michigan Humane has expanded its Canine Sleepover Program.
Lidia Vesterfelt with Michigan Humane appeared on “Live In The D” to talk about the program expanding to the Sterling Heights Adoption Center at Petco.
All three adoption centers for Michigan Humane now offer the program that allows people 18 years old and up to take a dog for an overnight stay at their home.
The length of the stay varies on your preference; with all the supplies you need to be provided by the shelter. By visiting the shelter in person or looking at the available dogs online at www.michiganhumane.org, you can choose which dog you want to house so they can get out of the shelter while they wait for someone to adopt them.
“It’s kind of like a test drive, almost,” Vesterfelt said. “We found that a lot of people end up adopting their sleepover.”
The program is only for the dogs available in each shelter, and not for any cats.
Vesterfelt brought a four-month-old puppy named “Sabrina” on the show, who is currently up for adoption and looking for a loving home.
