Hikes for Homes - Mariner's Ridge

It's that time again!

Announcing...

HIKES for HOMES
Mariner's Ridge

This Saturday, July 23 at 8:45 am

The Oahu Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and Wayde’s World Hawaii (a hiking group) will have its next hike and group meet-up for ‘Hikes for Homes” on SATURDAY JULY 23RD at MARINERS RIDGE at 8:45 AM.  The purpose of this group is to provide a fun and healthy environment where shelter dogs can meet and mingle with the public.  We hope that because of this exposure someone will be moved to adopt a shelter dog and save a life.

Oahu SPCA volunteers (approved dog walkers) will select up to 10 shelter dogs for the hike.  (Dog walkers please meet at shelter at 7:00 AM.)  The approved dog walkers will accompany the dogs as their handlers and monitor their behavior.

We will be taking our dogs on the Mariners Ridge Trail, a MODERATE 3 mile child and dog friendly hike.

Please wear your hiking boots, and bring plenty of water and snacks for yourself and your dog.  Don't worry about your pace on this hike...  There will be a very large combination of groups (nearly 50 people total) and several guides will be walking among the groups.  Wayde will also be monitoring everyone and will wait with the leisurely hikers.
