LET THEM LIVE THEIR BEST LIVES

Shelter Strong™ by Gyms For Dogs is a unique initiative to transform animal shelters and rescues through thoughtfully designed dog play and agility equipment. Our mission is to create active, enriching environments that support the health, behavior, and adoptability of dogs in kennel settings.

Engaging dogs in play and agility activities showcases their temperament, energy levels, and trainability, offering valuable insights to prospective owners. Additionally, these activities can reduce stress and improve behavior, making dogs more likely to get adopted.

Incorporating agility equipment into shelters not only provides mental and physical stimulation for the dogs, it allows them to display their personalities and abilities, potentially increasing their chances of finding a forever home.

The more dogs are engaged in activities and diverse experiences, the less fearful they become in new situation and environments. By providing them with physical exercise on play equipment has been shown to have a positive effect on the dog’s mood.

Having dedicated dog play spaces at dog rescues and humane societies not only allow dogs to run around and release stress, they create more opportunities for the dogs to get adopted. Playing with dogs and interacting with them on play equipment such as a Bridge Climb or Training Platform brings the dog up to the potential adopter’s level encouraging one-on-one more-intimate bonding.
