As a dog owner you will be aware of the emotional benefits and physical benefits of walking your dog. The pleasure of your company is one of your dog’s greatest motivations to exercise.
When you are away, you’ll miss out on the extra exercise. Your dog will be fine and well looked after back home, but what about you and the break to your daily routine?
Now you can still get a nice walk and help one of the Cayman Islands’ charities.
A new scheme called ‘Doggie’s Day Out’ started by the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman with the Humane Society of the Cayman Islands. The Mission of the Cayman Islands Humane Society is to provide shelter, care and attention to all unwanted companion animals, and seek out responsible and loving homes for them.
Now twice a week, on Wednesdays and Fridays, guests of the five star resort have the chance to walk a dog in return of a US$25 donation to the Humane Society.
Don’t worry if your holiday budget doesn’t quite stretch to a stay at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, the scheme isn’t only open to resort guests.
The programme was started by the Housekeeping Manager and the hotel has designed a walk around the resort’s Blue Tip Golf Course and the North Sound Club If it gets too warm, this route has plenty of shady locations for resting.
The scheme is also helping to find homes for the dogs, as people become attached to their dogs and choose to adopt them. The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman is investing in ‘Adopt Me’ leads and offers free grooming for any dog that gets adopted to ensure they are in good shape for their new home – or possibly for their flight back to the UK.
