The City of Crossett is introducing the "Doggy Day Out" program. This is being set up by The Crossett Canine Rescue organization and its volunteers. This gives the dogs at the pound a chance to get out to another environment, and to get out of the pound for at least a day. This also gives the dogs and future pet owners a chance to socialize with each other. This event is also important because it could help with the adoption of many dogs in the pound.  Crossett Canine Rescue Introduces Doggy Day Out Program | News | ashleycountyledger.com
