The 8th Annual Snowshoe Trails and Wagging Tails Dog Walk brings together cold noses and warm hearts for a good cause on this coming Saturday.

This annual fundraising dog walk is organized by the North Bay-Mattawa Conservation Authority (NBMCA) in collaboration with the North Bay and District Humane Society (NBDHS). The walk, scheduled for March 5, 2011 at 10 am at the trails along the Laurentian Escarpment Conservation Area, is a fundraiser for the Humane Society.

“We look forward to a great hike with the public, and hope to see everyone there, even if you don’t have a dog.” Krista Pedersen, NBDHS Education Coordinator. "All funds and supplies raised go directly to the Humane Society and help us greatly at this time of year."

This walk is free of charge, but the NBMCA and NBDHS kindly ask that participants make a monetary donation or donate supplies for the orphaned dogs and cats. Walkers and dogs can meet at the NBMCA offices at the top of the ski hill, 15 Janey Ave.

The North Bay Humane Society supports the district of North Bay through the following goals.

1. PREVENTING THE CRUELTY, ABUSE AND NEGLECT OF ALL COMPANION ANIMALS.

2. PROVIDING A CLEAN, SAFE, HEALTHY HAVEN FOR ABUSED, ABANDONED, LOST AND UNWANTED PETS.

3. EDUCATING THE PUBLIC ABOUT RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP, SPAY/NEUTER IMPORTANCE, CARE AND CONTROL.
