Goddard Park was taken over by pooches on Sunday for the East Greenwich Animal Protection League’s 16th Annual Hound Hike. Despite gray skies and a bit of rain, the event was still well attended and raised more than $14,000 for the non-profit, no-kill animal shelter in EG. The shelter has adoption hours every Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Greenwich Bay Animal Hospital, 5732 Post Road, East Greenwich.
