Pups Parading the Palouse Dog Walk

A social dog-walking group organized by WSU veterinary students and under the supervision of Dr. Leticia Fanucchi. Our mission is to provide a community for dogs and people to work together to socialize, exercise and represent a responsible human-dog relationship. We are accepting and supportive of all dog breeds and personalities, as well as behavioral "issues" and sociability.
