Animal Relief Fund
Dog Walking Service
The Animal Relief Fund is providing dog walking services. Are you short on time? Do you have an overactive dog who needs extra exercise? Perhaps your dog just needs a walk around the block.
$5 for a trip around the block
$10 for trail hiking
$20 for a day trip (lakes, trails, etc.)
Destructive behaviors like digging, shredding things and self-mutilation, along with constant barking are all signs of boredom which can be fixed with exercise and a little one-on-one time. Walking is a natural energy outlet for your fuzzy loved ones along with mental and physical stimulation. Other advantages are socialization and better manners!
Experience: 4 years volunteering with animal handling for Butte Humane Society, 2 years animal handling with the North Valley Animal Disaster Group (Butte County), animal handling courses with Dog Scouts of America, animal first aid, rattlesnake awareness. Can handle all types of dog - small dogs, large dogs, pullers and dogs who aren't well behaved on a leash.
All proceeds go to the Animal Relief Fund (530) 289-2720

Hard times for families are hard times for pets, too
Animals are a big part of many families’ lives. During this financial downturn many people are forced to decide between feeding their pets or themselves.
There are some emergency food options for people but not for pets.
The Animal Relief Fund (ARF) is being established for people in Sierra County who are in need of emergency food for their animals.
