Celebrate dog ownership and help raise money for homeless animals at the inaugural Tails and Trails Dog Walk, Sat., Oct. 3 at Adkins Arboretum. The event will feature local vendors; refreshments; search and rescue and agility/rally course demonstrations; a ½-mile strut; and one- and two-mile walks for dog walkers. Proceeds benefit the animals served by the Caroline County Humane Society (CCHS).
Walkers raising $30 will receive a Tails and Trails dog bandanna; those raising $60 or more will receive the bandanna and a Tails and Trails T-shirt. Participants raising more than $100 for CCHS will receive a bandanna, a T-shirt, and a Tails and Trails ball cap. Special prizes will be presented for top pledges, and raffle prizes will be awarded.
Participants may obtain pledge sheets by calling 410-820-1600 or by e-mailing kiwini1@yahoo.com. Pledge sheets and pledge money must be turned in the day of the event in order for walkers to be eligible for prizes. All donations are tax deductible.
The Tails and Trails Dog Walk will be held rain or shine from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Pets are welcome, but walkers do not need a dog to participate. Vendor spaces are available and volunteers are needed. For more information, call Caroline County Humane Society at 410-820-1600.
