Pawprint Pledge and Freebies: Make a difference while having a great time! We invite you to sign the Pawprint Pledge, committing to clean up after your pup on all walks and ensure cleaner waterways. As a token of our appreciation, you’ll receive free eco-friendly poo bags and a stylish bandana for your furry friend.
Spread the Word: Share the news with friends, family, and fellow dog enthusiasts. Together, we can make a significant impact and create a positive change for our environment.
Don’t miss this chance to combine your love for dogs with your commitment to environmental conservation. Join us on September 9th, from 9:00 am to 11:30 am, at Buttermilk Bend Trail. Let’s have a tail-wagging good time while leaving a lasting paw-print of care on our planet. See you there!
