Thank you to everyone who joined us Sunday, June 14th for our biggest event of the year! With nearly 500 people, more than 100 dogs, live music of FILK, and plently of sunshine and fun to go around, it was our most festive walk ever!

 

 

Though the pledges are still trickling in, we've passed more than $52,000 in revenue - generated by way of generous corporate sponsors, raffles and sales on the 14th, and the amazing support of our donors!

 

Congratulations - and thanks! - to our top fundraisers:

 

Youth: Sonia Nussbaum

Adult: Marian Fritz & "Charlene"

Team: Dwight Asset Management

 

Combined, our top fundraisers brought in more than $15,000! That's a lot of kibble!

Pet of the Week

Pixie

 5 year Old Welsh Corgi

Neutered Male

 

This sweet boy came to us because he didn't get along with a dog in his previous home.  He would do well in an active home with teenagers.  Calvin loves being around people and would prefer to spend most of his day with them rather than spend a lot of time home alone.  He would do great in a semi-active home with older children.
