FIND YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND ON THE MERKLE TRAIL.

| Beautiful Cassiopeia was adopted after the Feb. hike! |
EVENT IS CANCELLED: because it will be raining cats & dogs on Saturday---please join us on April 5th!
There are only 2 more Wag & Walk dog adoption hikes to go before we take a break until November. The next hike with Maricopa County Animal Care adoptable dogs will be Saturday, March 1,2014.“Wag & Walk” hiker dogs are already spayed or neutered and available to go home on the spot, usually at reduced adoption fees. Many of the dogs who participated in these hikes have found their "fur-ever" homes, and all of them certainly enjoyed strutting their stuff on the trail.

The dogs also inspired some (human) hikers to become Day Foster Volunteers. This special team takes dogs out of the shelter for a day, weekend or a few hours to walk, socialize or just to get some quiet time and extra attention. Sound interesting?
