Don't like walking by yourself? No motivation? Can't afford the gym? Then....
Walk a shelter dog for an enjoyable exercise! It's not only free, it's your good deed for the day!
Not only will you get in shape, the dogs benefit from walking, too! PAWS shelter dogs will get some fresh air and you help them become more adoptable through your companionship and walking on a leash.
Shelter dogs walked regularly have a higher chance of being adopted. Walking keeps them healthier and improves their people skills.
Come walk a shelter dog today, make a difference in a dog's life and...maybe lose a few pounds.
