Tails on the Trail: Hike with Adoptable Dogs
Details
REGISTER HERE TO ATTEND https://joinoutsiders.com/events
Join us for a heart-forward day at Harriman State Park where fresh air meets second chances.
Tails on the Trail pairs outdoor adventure with purpose. We’ll head into Harriman’s scenic trails alongside adoptable dogs from our rescue partners! The point of the day is exercise, socialization, and a day filled with love and attention.
Once we arrive, participants will be paired (or grouped) with adoptable pups under the supervision of experienced handlers. Expect a moderate hike with rolling terrain, wooded paths, and lake views- plus plenty of breaks for water, photos, and belly rubs.
And here’s the best part: If you make a genuine connection with one of the dogs, you’ll have the opportunity to begin the adoption process. ❤️🐶 While adoption approvals are handled directly by the rescue organization, this hike is a beautiful way to meet these dogs outside of a shelter setting and see how you connect in real time.
Whether you’re seriously considering adoption or simply want to spend the day doing something meaningful, this experience is about movement, community, and giving these dogs the exposure they deserve. Walk a dog. Share the trail. You might just meet your new best friend.
