The Wood County Humane Society launched an exciting new program, Doggy Day Out, a volunteer initiative that allows community members to walk shelter dogs to help with socialization, exercise and promotion of adoption. The program was made possible by a grant of $5,000 from Maddie’s Fund, named after a miniature schnauzer who gave her philanthropist owners so much joy. To volunteer for Doggy Day Out, go to wchumane.org for details. Volunteers must be 18 or older, but no experience is necessary.
