The Pasadena Humane Society & SPCA invites animal lovers to put their best feet forward on Sunday, September 25, 2011 during the shelter’s 13th annual Wiggle Waggle Walk fundraiser for the animals. Organizers hope to raise $315,000 through the event, which will provide food, shelter and medical care to homeless animals, nearly 12,000 of which are taken in by the humane society every year.
Some 2,000 people and their dogs are expected to take part in the walk, which begins at 9 a.m. at Brookside Park at the Rose Bowl. Walkers and their dogs can choose either a one-mile or three-mile route around the outside of the stadium before enjoying a free Fair & Pet Expo at the park. Participants do not need a dog to join the fun—just a desire to help the animals—and they can walk individually or form teams.
Registration is free but participants are encouraged to fundraise for the animals by creating personal web pages through the Wiggle Waggle Walk website and asking family, friends and co-workers for donations. The address is www.wigglewagglewalk.org . Non-walkers, and those unable to attend the event, can also create fundraising web pages through this site. Raise or donate at least $50 and receive an official Wiggle Waggle Walk T-shirt.
This year’s sponsors include Wells Fargo, Merrill Lynch- Tanimoto Group, Three Dog Bakery, VCA Animal Hospitals, Petco/Petco Foundation, Centinela Feed & Pet Supply, Eye Care for Animals and TLC Pet Medical Center.
Event day check-in starts at 8 a.m. at the entrance to Brookside Park in Parking Lot I. The walk will begin at 9:00am and the Fair & Pet Expo will take place immediately after the walk and will be open until 2 p.m. The Fair will feature Muttley Crew’s dog agility show, Glendale and Pasadena Police Departments K9 demonstrations, a variety of pet product booths, paw-tapping music, and fun dog contests, including best trick contest and cutest canine.
