More than 1,000 animal advocates and their four-legged friends will gather at Fort Steilacoom Park on July 26 for Washington’s biggest dog walk — the18th Annual Dog-A-Thon!
This fun, family event has something for everyone!
Enjoy a one-mile stroll or four-mile hike, dozens of pet-related booths, demonstrations, contests, entertainment, a barbeque, and much more!
Best of all, the walk benefits homelss animals at the Humane Society. Last year, the Dog-A-Thon netted $130,000 for our furry friends, and we need your help to raise even more in 2008!
