The event is much more than a dog walk; it attracts hundreds of pet owners from across the Coachella Valley with all types of dogs-from ankle-high Chihuahuas to towering Great Danes. While the event is free to attend, guests are asked to help raise $25,000 through donations, walk pledges, and the purchase of raffle tickets. Ask your friends, relatives, co-workers, and classmates to join forces with you by creating a Walk Team.  Proceeds go to our Humane Education in the classroom program and to help care for our shelter animals.  The event features free animal-themed entertainment including: Acrobatic Frisbee Dogs; local Police K-9 dogs demonstrating attacks on would-be criminals; Drug-sniffing dog demonstrations; Pet costume contests, and the Second Chance Parade of Pets with adoptable dogs from several local animal shelters.   more info...
