DOG CHALLENGE

Our dog routes include some of the most epic trails in our region in amazing nature with awesome views. Note that several routes are identical to our Trail Adventure routes; check the box for both of you as you complete these routes and look for opportunities to combine with a Junior Adventure too.

The Dog Challenge is sponsored by a local non-profit, Tails of Rescue in Kahoots. They are an Anderson-based non-profit organization dedicated to dog rescue and operated entirely by volunteers, allowing ALL proceeds from the pet store component to be directed towards operational and veterinary costs necessary for rescuing dogs from shelters.  The retail store component is located in Anderson at 2644 North Street, Anderson, CA, and offers all kinds of pet supplies at reasonable costs, and, again, all proceeds go towards dogs in need.  For those who participated last year, you will recall the amazing treat bag that your dog earned.  This year, the same treat bags can be picked up in Anderson at their store by bringing your completed passport to them, OR at the end of the challenge party (see events for date and time).  Pro Tip - schedule your last dog adventure for the Anderson River Park Route (super cool in a lot of ways) and head over to Tails of Rescue in Kahoots for the treat bag and event sticker.
