Hikes with Hounds

Burlington Animal Services has partnered with both Burlington and Graham’s Recreation & Parks departments to provide the Hikes with Hounds program. Hikes with Hounds matches participants with shelter dogs on a once-a-month hike on local trails in Alamance County. This opportunity offers adoptable dogs at Burlington Animal Services an enrichment activity by allowing the dogs to enjoy nature, socialize with people and exercise.

• Be 18 years of age or older
• Be able to hike up to 3 miles at a moderate pace on uneven and natural surface terrain
