VAIL — Come for the action, leave with a dog.
Attendees of the GoPro Mountain Games will have a chance to adopt a Ruff Adventure Dog, free of charge, thanks to dog gear company Ruffwear and Best Friends Animal Society.
“They’re higher-energy, active, younger dogs that pair well with our customers, who are people who want that active, outdoor dog,” said Greg Freyberg, of Ruffwear, a manufacturer of canine outdoor gear. “They’re looking for a dog, not to sleep on the couch, but to take camping, for a trail run, mountain biking, river rafting and all of that.”
Members of Ruffwear and Best Friends Animal Society, a national animal welfare organization with the largest no-kill companion animal sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, will have five dogs up for adoption Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the Mountain Games. Fifteen dogs are available for forever homes and companions.
