Paws in the Park Walk & Pet Fest
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!
