Hart Co. Humane Society to Host Dam Dog Walk

If you’re into keeping fit and you have a dog, you might want to pencil in this year’s annual Dam Dog Walk in Hartwell.

Sponsored by the Hart County Humane Society, it’s coming up Saturday, April 29 from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Big Oaks Recreation area in Hartwell.

Hart County Humane Society President, Donna Madkiff, said another aspect of the Dam Dog Walk is the Best Dog By a Dam Site annual pet pageant.

The Dam Dog walk involves walking from the Big Oaks Recreation area down to the Hartwell Dam and back, which is about a two-mile walk round trip. 

But Madkiff said you don’t have to do the walk, just come out and enjoy the day with other pet owners.

Madkiff said money raised from the walk goes to help more rescued dogs and cats.

Registration is $25 and includes a t-shirt and the Pet Pageant entry fee.

Registration forms can be downloaded from www.harthumane.org.
