A Fresh New Look at LAWS: Our Dog Walking Trail

The back of our shelter has a fresh new look — and a meaningful new purpose. With the incredible help of Happy Trails Construction, the area has been transformed into a scenic nature trail for our dogs to enjoy.

A Peaceful Path for Exercise and Enrichment

Winding through the trees behind LAWS, the trail offers a calm, natural setting that enhances the well-being of the animals in our care. Our staff and volunteers use it daily to provide enriching, guided leash walks that help dogs build confidence, practice good leash manners, and enjoy much-needed exercise and mental stimulation.

Bringing Our Vision to Life

This beautiful new addition has quickly become one of our favourite parts of the property. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Happy Trails Construction for their care, creativity, and generosity in helping us bring this vision to life. Their support has created a lasting space that will benefit both our animals and the people who care for them for years to come.
