Its time again for the biggest dog-centered event in Arlington! On Saturday, May 8th (rain or shine), the Animal Welfare League of Arlington will kick off the 15th Annual Walk for the Animals to help homeless animals in our community. Last year, with more than 500 walkers and 300 dogs we raised more than $91,000! Help us surpass that this year! Its never too early to !
The three-mile loop walk or one-mile stroll will begin and conclude at beautiful Bluemont Park in Arlington. Dogs are invited to accompany their owners but, for their safety, cats and other pets should be left at home.
Celebrity photographer, judge on "America's Next Top Model", and animal welfare activist Nigel Barker supports this year's Walk with a donation of a signed photograph of himself with endangered baby seals.
All pre-registered walkers will receive a Walk 2010 t-shirt and all participating dogs will receive their very own bandana. In addition, walkers who raise $75 or more will receive exciting rewards, so don't stop at $25!
Besides the hundreds of adorable doggies, we will have exciting demonstrations, entertainment, and booths showcasing our generous sponsors. Past presentations have included K-9 units, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Beagle Brigade, and amazing fly-ball teams.
We hope that you will come out and show your support for the animals in our community by being part of this year's Walk.
