Join us at Kit Carson Park this Sunday, March 27, for our biggest event of the year - Paws in the Park!
Join the hundreds of walkers and their canine companions who will be on hand Sunday to raise funding and awareness for homeless animals in our community. Bring your dog, or walk in honor or memory of a pet who has touched your life, and feel great knowing that your efforts will help care for animals who need us the most!
Registration opens at 8 a.m. Pre-register online at www.firstgiving.com/ehs, or register on the day of the event by downloading a pledge form HERE and bringing it to the walk. The walk kicks off at 9 a.m. and is followed by a post-walk celebration complete with contests, games for people and pets alike, entertainment, food, shopping and more.
In addition to these post-walk festivities, we also will be joined by special guests Tamilee Webb, star of the "Buns of Steel" series; Rev. Canon Lee B. Teed, who will lead us on a Blessing of the Animals; Why Dogs Fly; and Paws in the Park 2011 Spokespet Elsa! Brooke Landau of San Diego 6 The CW will serve as master of ceremonies, and Gary Trice, San Diego's "Classic Rocking DJ," will provide music. You're sure to have a ton of fun!
As an independent nonprofit organization, we depend on animal lovers like you to support our lifesaving work. Your participation in Paws in the Park will make a world of difference for animals in need. Every dollar raised for Paws in the Park will be directly transformed into shelter, food, and medical care for the 388 animals in our care at this very moment, as well as the 4,500 more who will come through our doors this year in need of loving care and new homes. Paws in the Park may have gone to the dogs, but ALL animals at the shelter will benefit from your lifesaving work.
* Paws in the Park will take place rain or shine! *
