A Northside Middle School eighth grader is organizing the second annual Human Walking Project to encourage local residents to volunteer for Columbus Animal Care Services and consider adopting a dog.
Erica Bishop has been an Animal Care Services volunteer herself for the past five years.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, Bishop invites local residents to come to Mill Race Park and walk a dog that is up for adoption. Most dog walks last about 15 minutes.
It is an opportunity for local residents to get some exercise and for the dogs to find a new home. Last year’s event attracted more than 60 people, and six adoption applications were filed.
The event is supported by Animal Care Services and the Bartholomew County Humane Society.
