Paw Walkers

  Do you love dogs but don’t have one? Then borrow an adoptable dog from the Humane Society of Greater Dayton and explore our wonderful Five River MetroPark system! These one hour walks are: 

       ·        A beautiful way to see our community’s parks

       ·        Guided tours!

       ·        Great for your health!

       ·        Great for our dog’s health!

       ·        Fun for you and/or your family! 

Each participant will receive a sloppy wet kiss along with a sticker saying “I walked an orphaned pet today”.  In addition, participants will receive a certificate for a free microchip to be used for their own pets or a friends pet.  

In order to make sure we can reserve a dog for you, please call Five Rivers MetroParks at 274-0126. The Paw Walker events may be weather dependent. Please call for event status if the weather appears to be poor. 

The Humane Society will be on-site with information on all of our programs including microchipping, dog adoptions and information on basic dog obedience.

 As a thank you, all Paw Walker participants are invited to attend a Humane Society open-house at the Humane Society on September 27th. We will be celebrating with music, food & refreshments. Thank you in advance for helping our adoptable dogs!
