Glenda Jeffries panicked when she got sick because she didn’t know how she would walk her poodle Josie.
The Regina senior is grateful that Dog Paaws, a new Regina volunteer organization, came to her rescue.
Dog Paaws pairs up seniors and those with mobility issues with a volunteer that will walk their dogs and provide pet assistance for free. Since its inception in October, three Regina residents with mobility issues, including Jeffries, have been matched.
Jeffries, who lives alone, said she used to take Josie on long walks every day, but that became impossible when she got sick.
