Yucaipa Animal Placement Society and Canine Companions are holding a fun monthly walk with the animals. Scheduled for the
second Saturday of every month, as weather permits, animal lovers alike are encouraged to bring their leashed and vaccinated dogs to walk. Lacking in a walking companion? Take one of the dogs awaiting a new home and brighten their day with a fun-filled adventure.
Wags and Walk is an ongoing monthly event. The fun begins at 10:30am, people and their four-legged friends are encouraged to join dog trainer, Kym Caldwell of Canine Companions for a nice stroll that will depart from the shelter. Participants are encourage to arrive by 10:15 to get prepared for the journey. With plenty of trails and walkways in the area, the options are sure to be an endless opportunity for a good time and provide health benefits for all.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity to spend time with your favorite four-legged friend whether it’s yours or one of ours, as well as meet likeminded animal lovers,” said Director Nicole Laffey. “We are excited to work with Kym in offering this opportunity to dogs and their people.” Please remember to come prepared for both people and pets, water and bags for waste clean-up are necessary.
For more information on the walks please contact YAPS at (909) 790-1440.
