The 2010 Animal Humane Society Walk for Animals was a huge success. There were over 10,000 participants and together they stepped up and raised over 1 million dollars!

The day started with check-in and getting prizes for various milestones in the amount of money raised. With everyone decked out in their red caps, t-shirts, sweatshirts and even doggie bananas, it was time to explore the grounds and mingle before the walk officially started. From goats to ferrets, from dogs to cats, all of the animals looked like they were having a blast socializing, sampling treats and taking it all in.

It was wonderful to see such a large turnout in the five mile walk along Theodore Wirth Park. A big shout out to all the volunteers and neighbors along the path for providing waste bags, water and treats for our furry friends.

After the walk, it was time for some food, entertainment and relaxation. It was adorable to see all of the animal participants in the various pet contests before calling it a day. A huge thank you to all who donated to this amazing cause. Our pets are truly a blessing in our lives. We look forward to next year’s walk!
