With all of the fun activities, organizers hoped to encourage people to adopt a new furry friend.
“We have paws of purpose here today, and the Doddridge County Humane Society and our goal is to get all the animals adopted and find their forever home,” Nolan Tucci, WV Fitness general manager said.
Pet owners were also welcome to bring their own pets to enjoy the nice day and some family fun.
