Get Fit with A Pit in Arizona

One of the things we love about our Arizona animal rescue associations is their creativity in helping pets get out of the shelter and adopted. Get Fit with A Pit gives rescued dogs a much needed break from the stresses of kennel life and it gives volunteers a chance to socialize with friends and get fit in the process. This is the second annual challenge for Lost Paws, an Arizona rescue group that does a lot of good for our community.

If your new year’s resolution is to get fit, do it with a pit in 2014. Volunteers are very welcome. Over 30 dogs were participants in today’s hike – it’s a great way to help animals and enjoy our beautiful weather.

Lost Paws is here to help you meet your goal and you’ll have the opportunity to help rescued animals get socialized and exercised.  You’ll receive special incentives (not the least of which is a furry friend to keep you motivated!) and you’ll be entered to win special prizes. There are eight hikes scheduled in Arizona and you’ll be entered to win one of five gift baskets, which include gas cards, movie tickets, dining cards and plenty of other wonderful prizes. Here is how you can sign up during the months of January and February.

 

What counts as a HIKE?

Forever Home Bonus

If your dog is adopted during any of the events, you will receive a $100 bonus!  And if  you take the best picture while you’re on the trail, you’ll receive another $100 dining card from PF Changs.
