A little bit about last year's Dog Walk:  We had an amazing time meeting all of you and your beloved canine companions (please click here to view a video from one of our attendees).  It was so nice to see the community turn out in in such large numbers (over 50 dogs were present!) to support the Humane Society of Yates County.  Vendors and demonstrators from far and near were in attendence with their wares and services; they included Yates County Sheriff's Deputy Brandon Jensen and his canine partner, Argo, Gail Furst of K-9 Healers, Ruff Stuff Dog Toys, For Claudia's Sayke (natural dog care products), and K-9 Kids.  A portion of the proceeds from all sales (vendors and Hunt Country's Wine & Gift Shop), as well as the registration fee & raffle fees, were donated to the Humane Society of Yates County - totaling more than $1,000!
