Weekly Sunday Hikes with Old Dominion Humane Society Rescue Dogs

Old Dominion Humane Society

Old Dominion Humane Society’s (ODHS) weekly Sunday hikes will begin at 7:45 a.m. beginning April 5. The start time for the spring and summer months gets hikers and rescue dogs out on the trails to take advantage of cooler temperatures since it gets lighter earlier. (The fall and winter start time is 8:45 a.m.)
The popular hikes are three to five miles, and ODHS volunteers match participants with rescue dogs. Guests will caravan with their four-legged friends in their cars to a different local trail each week guided by ODHS volunteers. Crates are available at the facility.
The benefits for both humans and dogs are a morning out on a beautiful local trail, the chance to meet other dog lovers in the community, vigorous exercise and an opportunity to help the dogs socialize and get out of the facility. 
ODHS is located at 3602 Lafayette Boulevard in Fredericksburg. Adoption events are Wednesdays from 5-7 p.m., Fridays from 6-8 p.m., Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Applications in advance are preferred and take priority over walk-ins. For more information about the dogs available for adoption and adoption surveys, as well as upcoming events, volunteering, fostering and donating items, visit <a href="https://www.olddominionhumanesociety.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.olddominionhumanesociety.org</a>.

Virginia Veterans: Make Your Book This Christmas 2025

Words of Veterans

Quantico, Va. – Dec. 25, 2025 – This Christmas season, Virginia veterans are being offered a meaningful gift: the chance to preserve their military stories in a professionally printed hardcover book—at no cost. Words of Veterans was created by Alex K. Sebby, a former enlisted U.S. Marine who served from 1999 to 2003. The online platform helps U.S. Veterans document their service, memories, and life experiences in their own words. Drawing on best practices from the Veterans History Project at the Library of Congress, the tool guides veterans step-by-step through writing their personal history and turning it into a beautifully bound book to share with family for generations. In celebration of Christmas 2025, Sebby announced a special initiative made possible by a grant from the Virginia Department of Veterans Services. The grant provides 1,000 vouchers for U.S. Veterans living in Virginia to have their book printed and shipped free of charge. “This is about honoring service and making sure veterans’ voices are never lost,” said Sebby. “Too many stories disappear because they’re never written down. This program preserves those stories for families and future generations.” Veterans write their story at their own pace using the Words of Veterans platform. Once complete, the book is professionally printed as a high-quality hardcover and shipped directly to the veteran. To qualify, veterans must live in Virginia and redeem a voucher before the program deadline. All books must be printed and shipped by March 31, 2026. Vouchers are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Veterans can redeem their free book using the voucher code FreeBook. For more information, visit www.WordsOfVeterans.com / email Alex@WordsOfVeterans.com / or call 571-494-5106. Semper Fi, Alex K. Sebby
