18th Annual Sacramento SPCA "Doggy Dash" & "Bark at the Park Festival" -- June 4, 2011

The 18th Annual Sacramento SPCA "Doggy Dash" and "Bark at the Park Festival" is coming up on Saturday, June 4th, 2011 in William Land Park. About 5,000 pet-lovers will gather with (and without) their doggy partners to raise money to benefit the Sacramento SPCA. This is so much fun! I was lucky enough to attend for the first time last year, and it is so much fun! You can choose to participate in a 5k or 2k walk with your pooch. Registration opens at 7:30am and the walks begin at 9am.

The "Bark at the Park Festival" takes place in the park after the "Doggy Dash." Register your hound to compete in the Pup Show, high-flying Disc Contest, or the Pug Races! Visit with pet-friendly businesses, see a Sacramento PD K-9 Unit demonstration, learn about Sacramento-area animal rescue organizations, or just have lunch while watching all the action.

Register here! Whether you choose to bring a canine companion or invite a two-legged friend, mark your calendar and join us for the "Doggy Dash" and "Bark at the Park Festival" and help make a difference in the lives of homeless animals sheltered at the Sacramento SPCA. Register as a solo participant, start a team or join an existing team.
