Come join in the festivities and help us to continue with our mission to save the lives of these beautiful, helpless creatures.

There are many ways that you can help: 
- WALK THE WALK with your four legged friend (or without).
- SPONSOR A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER TO WALK by clicking here or the "sponsor a walker" button above.
- CAN'T ATTEND BUT WANT TO HELP? Don’t feel like walking? Don’t know anyone to sponsor? You can still help by making a tax-deductible donation which will help both organizations raise much needed funds by clicking here or by clicking on the orange "Donate" button above. Enjoy your cat nap but still help us care for rescued dogs and cats!
- BECOME A DONOR For donations of $100, receive acknowledgement on our website/newsletters & a complimentary event t-shirt; for donations of $250, receive the same plus a trail marker sign with your name or company name. Click on "download forms" for more information and to download a donor form.
- BECOME A VENDOR We are looking for a variety of vendors to sell their products and/or promote their services; and not just pet-related. Space is limited, so sign-up early. Click on "download forms" for more information and to download a vendor form.
- HELP SPREAD THE WORD Getting the word out is vital to the success of this event.
The success of this event depends on the number of walkers who participate and collect pledges. Because it is a pledged walk, it is important to ask family, friends, co-workers and neighbors to sponsor you. Walk as a family or form a team and get your family, friends, co-workers and neighbors to walk with you.
All walkers will receive one bandana per dog for up to two dogs (additional bandanas will be available for purchase). Walkers who raise $100 or more will receive one Hounds on the Sound T-shirt (to guarantee your size, please have your online sponsorship completed before September 12th). Event shirts will be available until we run out as it is difficult to predict the number and sizes needed.
Guidelines:
1 Dress for the weather; this is a rain or shine event
2 Maximum of 2 dogs per registered walker/family
3 All dogs must be leashed, licensed and current on all vaccinations
4 No retractable leashes or leashes over 6 feet long
5 Walkers under 16 must be accompanied by an adult
6 Please pick up after your dog
7 Grumpy dogs are better left at home

Please mail or bring the registration and pledge forms and all donations on the day of the event. Please note that it is difficult to predict the number and sizes of t-shirts needed for walkers who raised $100 or more; to guarantee your size, registration and pledge forms plus all donations must be received by September 12th -- or register online (preferable). Event shirts will be available until we run out.
