Pack Walk Trail - Sponsorship
The Humane Society of North Central Florida is proud to share that our Pack Walk volunteer program is officially underway. Pack Walk allows volunteer groups to walk shelter dogs together, providing vital exercise, enrichment, and companionship.
Thanks to generous support, our 0.3-mile walking path has been built on previously unused wooded property and is already being enjoyed by volunteer groups and our dogs. The shaded trail creates a safe, enriching environment that improves animal welfare while offering a meaningful team-building experience for the community.
We are now seeking cash and in-kind sponsors to help maintain and enhance the path for long-term use. Sponsorships directly support upkeep and improvements and include recognition with signage along the trail, as well as acknowledgment online and at future events.
Together, we can ensure this path remains a lasting resource that improves the lives of our dogs and connects our community to lifesaving work.
