Paws in the Park Walk & Pet Fest

Helping Paws Animal Shelter, Neighbor

Join us for the 14th annual Paws in the Park Walk & Pet Fest! 

You can walk the trail around the pond at Veteran Acres Park with your dog(s) and lots of other wonderful pet guardians. Then spend the time visiting with vendors, participating in contests and enjoying demonstrations scheduled at the event. There will also be raffle baskets, Helping Paws merchandise for sale and individual pet blessings. Culver's of Crystal Lake will have food available, including something for vegetarians. Help the shelter more by collecting pledges and also be eligible for prizes! 

Register at www.pawsintheparkwalk.com and get more information about the event, including pledge forms. Registration forms will be also available online and at the shelter. Early registration is $30 and ends on August 15. So save $5 and register now. After August 15th through day of event it is $35 for the first dog (we do not charge by the person).  Registration includes a custom walk t-shirt, doggy goody bag and bandana.  If you have any questions, please contact the Helping Paws Animal Shelter at 815-338-4400.
