A Florida city is offering you the chance to preview what it's like to own a dog.

The SPCA of Florida branch in Lakeland is bringing back "Doggie Dates," in which you will be able to go on a "date" with one of the agency's adoptable dogs.

Each dog comes with everything you need for your date.

The date lasts for approximately three hours and could include a visit to a park, window shopping, a Starbucks visit, and even a Netflix movie at your house; whatever suits your fancy. 

This is not only a fun thing to get you out of the house, it's designed to match the adoption center's dogs with potential owners.

Best of all, it's totally free to participate, and if you want to spend more time with the pooch you can apply for a "Pajama Pawty Sleepover."
