Walk a Hound, Lose a Pound
Written By: David Stroud - Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society | Issue: 2017/01 - Winter
One of the most common New Year’s resolutions goes sometime like this: “Starting now, this is the year I am going to lose weight and get into shape!”
To help you achieve that goal, there is a multi-billion-dollar industry out there anxious to separate you and your pocketbook, from gym memberships and equipment purchases, to shakes, supplements, and pills.
At the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society we have a better idea, and it won’t cost you a single penny. Plus, you can enjoy clean, fresh air, take in the wondrous beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and best of all, tap into your love of animals and what we call “unleashing your animal magnetism.”
So, what is this magical, no-cost way to trim a few pounds and get that heart rate going?
Join the CHHS Hikers for Hounds! The CHHS Hikers for Hounds program matches volunteer outdoor enthusiasts with CHHS shelter dogs in need of exercise and socialization. CHHS Hikers for Hounds is an amazing program that gives our shelter dogs a day out to enjoy the pristine paradise of the Western North Carolina mountains with plenty of sunshine, exercise, and socialization. And it’s great for the humans on the other end of the leash, too!
So, forget all those expensive gyms and pricey equipment, and ignore those diet pills and food membership plans. Join the Cashiers-Highlands Humane Society Hikers for Hounds and walk a hound,
lose a pound!
