The “Paws, Tails and Boots” Veterans Dog Walk will be held at the Vance County Animal Shelter, 1243 Brodie Rd., Henderson, on Saturday, September 26, 2020, from 9 to 11 a.m.
The public is welcome, with veterans, first responders and their families strongly encouraged to attend. Participants will be walking and interacting with selected shelter dogs in an effort to provide companionship and trust-building activities.
Service animals are welcome; however, participants are asked to leave other pets at home.
The event was founded by veteran and shelter volunteer Mark Ferri. Ferri began the program in 2016 as a way to raise awareness of the mental health issues faced by veterans.
