Fired Pizza's Pup Pick of The Week
Fired Pizza
DATE & TIME: Please follow us on social media for weekly dates & times.
A weekly Fired Pizza outing featuring a shelter dog participating in the Doggie Day Out program. At Fired Pizza, known for its fresh, made to order pizzas baked to crispy, melty perfection, the pup enjoys plenty of attention and their well earned pizza crust tax.
Members of the public can sign up to take a shelter dog out for a visit to their favorite place, giving them a break from the shelter, community exposure, and a chance to meet someone who may fall in love and choose to adopt or foster them.
For more information on the Doggie Day Out program, contact Stockton Animal Services at sasfoster@stocktonca.gov.
