What could be better than walking with a furry friend?

Did you know that research shows that people who own a dog tend to get more physical activity?

How about that petting a dog lowers the stress hormone cortisol and increases oxytocin (a feel-good hormone)?

Dogs are great companions, especially when you want to get moving together. This month, you can join us every Friday at 1:00pm in front of the BSC and meet a new (adoptable!) furry friend, courtesy of the Winchester Area SPCA Adventure Tails program. 

(Walks are cancelled in the event of rain)

EVIE

Evie is a 4.5 year old beagle mix who loves the outdoors and getting pet. Her hobbies include fetching the tennis ball but refusing to bring it back, curling up like a bagel in strange corners of the house, thinking she’s sneaky by illegally getting on the couch when mom and dad aren’t home, and rolling around an unnecessary amount of times in the grass.

Take a walk with Evie on October 12!

Thor is a 3.5 year old Old English Bulldog. He loves to snuggle with his baby human sister, getting extra treats and plenty of pets. His favorite activity is running in fields and going for walks with his family. He is very athletic and active for a bulldog, he regularly swims, hikes, and can even jump high enough to jump over the back of the couch! Any blanket on the ground or on a piece of furniture he claims as his own and snuggles up with it. He has a big personality to match his big heart!

Come meet Thor on October 19!

TIPPY

Tippy is a 3 year old emotional support animal (currently in training to be a service animal). He is a pitbull boxer mix. He is extremely friendly and loves meeting new people. He is a gentle giant and is currently on a diet and needs exercise so he is excited to go on walks with everyone! He is not the biggest licker and does not jump but he loves to be rubbed (especially on the belly!).

Come take a walk with Tippy on October 26!
