These day trips are a great tool for introducing shelter dogs to potential owners, as well as providing exercise and socialization for both dog and human. Learn about one dog-lovers experience with an ambassador program and a shelter dog in this article.

If you are a traveler, this could be a great idea. You will be able to see the town and country with a "friend" - and dogs are natural conversation starters with the "locals". Meanwhile, the dog will get some well-deserved exercise.

Reduce travel stress

Submitted by Wanderlust Andi

Traveling is stressful, and the stress doesn’t necessarily stop when you reach your destination. So make life easier by having the addresses you need on hand. Also, set the GPS in your phone for audible directions to get you where you’re going. Rent a car, unless you are somewhere taxis or public transit are easier to use, and when you rent, use a loyalty program to save time and paperwork. Check the weather too, to avoid surprises. Finally, allow yourself plenty of extra time.
