Are your tails wagging with excitement? The beloved Pet Palooza Walk for the Animals & community festival returns on April 6th from 11am-3pm, celebrating 26 years of furry fun at our Animal Resource Center!
What's in store?
- Live music and laughter: Tap your paws to happy tunes while hanging out with your favorite pets and people.
- Food trucks and Beer Garden: Chow down on deliciousness and sip on refreshing drinks from a variety of vendors.
- Spoil your fur-iends: Discover unique goodies and services from pet-centric businesses.
- Family fun zone: Unleash the giggles with exciting activities for all ages!
Join the Walk & Make a Difference:
The heart of Pet Palooza is our Fundraising Walk, kicking off at 11 am. Show your love for animals by:
- Forming a team: Rally your fellow animal enthusiasts and walk together!
- Going solo: Strut your stuff as a proud one-person pack.
- Making a donation: Every bit helps! Contribute even if you can't walk.
Support us, however you wag! Those who raise over $75 will get a free walk t-shirt.
Here's the Pawsitive Twist:
To ensure we can continue caring for the wonderful animals in our community, there's a $5 entry fee per person or a donation of pet supplies. It's a small step that makes a big difference in the lives of animals in need.
Let's celebrate our furry friends and make a pawsitive impact together! Join us at Pet Palooza 2024!
