The Puppy Prowl Walk for Dogs with the Gan & District Humane Society

Love dogs? Please join us, the Gananoque & District Humane Society, on our Puppy Prowl, Saturday, Oct. 2 to help us re-home abandoned dogs. In Township Leeds & 1000 Islands if a lost dog is not claimed it becomes our property so we do our best! We place them in foster homes where they are socialized & brought back to health till they find their furever home. Often these are failed hunting dogs, let go, and they need lots of costly veterinarian care.
