Walk & Wag and Run AND WOW!

Nearly 600 dogs walk, wagged and ran to help others

On Saturday, May 20 at HSHV's 38th annual Walk & Wag, there was running...

Flying...

Meeting new friends...

And making new love(r)s.

And more love...

And more love...

So much love that you helped raise over $285,000 for the homeless, injured and abused animals in our community. Awww... yeah! The money you helped raise goes to help animals like Dixon, this year's Celebrity Spokesdog, who came to HSHV in need of a lot of medical care and TLC. He got it... thanks to you, and was feeling the love at Walk & Wag!

Huge thanks to our top fundraisers:

• Top youth fundraisers: Tristan Hewitt, Sally Eggleston, Danielle Storemski
• Top JV fundraisers: Matthew Krivan, Sandra Kline, Lillia Brooks
• Top adult fundraisers: Susan Kornfield (who generously donated her prize back to the foster and TNR programs), Kate Murphy, Melissa Francis
• Top team fundraisers: ProQuest's Bark Vader and the Dog Stars; The Fast & the Furriest; Barky Bark & the Funky Bunch

We are bowled over by your amazing love and support!

And... what's that?

You broke the record on attendance this year! Nearly 1,400 (1,396 to be exact) people and 585 dogs came out Saturday to show their support. We're not sure whether to thank the dogs more or the people more. How about both?

You must be dog tired.

But not tired of dogs, of course! We can't wait to see you at our next event! Sign up to hear about it here.
