2nd Annual Happy Tails and Happy Trails Event at Franklin Mountains State Park-Saturday morning, November 2nd
Franklin Mountains State Park is partnering with the Animal Rescue League of El Paso to bring you this very special event for a second year! Some of the shelter's adoptable (adorable) dogs will be brought to the park. Participants can walk the dogs and get to know them while hiking some of our great trails. We’ll have information and talks on healthy and safe hiking with your pooches while out in the park. Even if you aren’t looking to adopt, come out for a chance to brighten a dog’s day or bring your pooch for a fun outing and a chance to socialize your dogs at your state park.

The focus for the event includes three main goals: 1) Adopting out some deserving animals to loving homes, 2) Encouraging folks from our southwest region to get outdoors and get healthy all the while sharing that time with their pets, and 3) Promoting yet another way people can recreate in their beloved Texas State Parks.
The very first Happy Tails n’ Happy Trails event last year brought a surprisingly large number of people out: Over 50 participants along with over 50 dogs! It was a tail waggin’ good time, with barks and yaps filling the park; we are hoping to have a bigger turn out this year with a goal of connecting all of the adoptable dogs to their new companions and sharing local pet-friendly organizations and businesses with them.
