The Conroe City Council has approved new programs for the Conroe Animal Shelter. These programs will allow residents to spend time with shelter dogs outside of the shelter. The approved programs include a day-long and a weekend-long option.

Participants in these programs can take eligible dogs to pet-friendly locations. Further details about the programs, including how to participate, are available from the Conroe Animal Shelter. The shelter's manager has stated that the programs are intended for residents who cannot own a pet but still want to interact with dogs.
