DOG ADOPTION HIKE: SATURDAY FEB. 1, 2014
Usery Mountain Regional Park
 |
| "Nazareth" participated in the January hike |
With Super Bowl weekend comes your chance to enjoy the big
game in a huddle with a new best buddy. This Saturday, the public is invited to tackle the Merkle trail along with adoptable dogs from
Maricopa County Animal Care’s Mesa shelter. “Wag & Walk” hiker dogs are
already spayed or neutered and available to go home on the spot, usually at
greatly reduced adoption fees. Many of these dogs have been waiting to find their forever homes for a very looooong time. Could YOU be the hero that carries them the final yards for the "touch down" they've been dreaming about? Even if you’re not looking for a new fur baby, hiking among a pack of
happy tails makes for a memorable morning in the desert.
