Final Wag & Walk dog
adoption hike of the season is April 5, 2014
 |
| Volunteers with Wag & Walk dogs |
The heat is on and that
means the dogs of Maricopa County Animal Care & Control's Mesa
shelter have one more opportunity to impress you with their cuteness,
leash manners and walking skills on Usery Mountain Park's Merkle
Trail for the final adoption hike of the season. Participants are encourged
to "test drive" the adoptable dogs and see how well they
get along with other canines on this family-friendly trek. This is a
special opportunity for those looking to adopt because the dogs are
often more relaxed and exhibit their true pup personalities outside
of the shelter environment. All Wag & Walk dogs are spayed or
neutered, vaccinated and ready to go home on the spot! So, come on
out with a spare leash and an open heart for one (or more) of these
deserving canine companions. Hikes will resume in November.
