OK Humane Foster Field Trip Challenge

Taking a rescue dog on a walk is the most rewarding way to get active! You get in your steps, and a dog awaiting adoption will get some much-needed exercise and human interaction.  People who sign up to take dogs on Foster Field Trips will receive an OCCF  grant-funded Foster Field Trip supply bag that includes a fitness tracker (while supplies last), shirt, pop-up water bowl, and dog treats. In addition, monthly challenge prizes will be given to the person who takes the most Foster Field Trips, as well as the person who tracks the most miles during Foster Field Trips in a month. To sign up for the Foster Field Trip Challenge, interested individuals should email foster@okhumane.org or call OK Humane at 405-607-0626, ext. 203 to arrange a Foster Field Trip. Foster Field Trips must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Available days and hours for Foster Field Trips are Tuesday – Sunday, 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. OK Humane Foster Coordinators will go over guidelines and safety protocols, as well as approve Foster Field Trip locations with individuals who sign up. Participants are encouraged to refer to parks and trails listed on KeepMovingOKC.org for location ideas. When an individual \”checks out\” a dog for a field trip via the OK Humane Adoption Center (7500 N. Western, Oklahoma City, OK 73116), they will be required to report their field trip destination. Upon return of the dog, the challenge participant must show an OK Humane Employee their \”miles walked\” amount via a fitness tracker, watch or phone to eligible for the monthly challenge prizes. Additional rules of note: No dog parks will be allowed, maximum Foster Field Trip length is 3 hours, minors must be accompanied by an adult to participate, and foster dogs may not be introduced to personal pets.
