Hiking Hounds - Hosted by YVAS

Join us to walk some pups to stretch their paws on the trails! 

Participants should meet at the shelter at 8AM. Address: 5056 Jellison Rd, Billings

The hikes will take place once per month on Sunday through early Fall and we will try to go to a different trail head each month.  We will provide you with a crate for transport but you may forego using the crate at your own discretion. Understand the crate is for your safety and theirs. Dog will be loaded in the vehicle and we will all leave together to the trailhead.

Participants should be at least 16 years old. Parent/child duos are able to participate but the adult should be in control of the leash at all times during the hike. The dog must ride in a crate for transport if there is a child in the vehicle. Children accompanying an adult must be at least 10 years old.

Please keep in mind the dogs able to participate in the hike are limited to our population and the well-being of the animals. Not every Adoptable dog will be eligible to hike and not every hiker may be able to walk a dog for the entire duration of the hike.

What you should bring:
Trail appropriate shoes
Water for yourself and a canine buddy
Snacks or lunch for longer hikes

What is provided:
Collapsible dishes for dog water
Collar and leash
