Paws In The Park is September 16th!

By Sponsored Article Content September 12, 2017


Paws In The Park will be held at the NRT Easton Sheep Pasture on September 16 and we want you to bring your whole family! 


The event starts with a gentle 1 mile trail walk and continues with a festival atmosphere throughout the day. You and your family will find music, food, raffles, animal themed demonstrations, vendors, activities, and more as you enjoy the day. Best of all, proceeds go to benefit the Animal Protection Center and all of the cats, dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, chinchillas, birds and more that we care for on their way to a happy forever home.
 

Admission to the event is free but there is a $25 fee to walk. Proceeds go to the APCSM and help us find homes for animals!


Form A Walk Team And We'll Assign You A Shelter Mascot!!

Ok, so you love helping animals and having fun with your friends so naturally you want to form a walk team. You also love fundraising......well, maybe not so much love....in fact if you had some inspiration to share with your friends it would be a lot easier to ask them to support your walk, and more fun. We have the answer....a mascot! 
 
Getting a mascot for your walk team is easy. Send us an email telling us what sort of mascot you're looking for (senior dog, a fluffy cat, a bunny or other small animal, even a Life Is Precious alumni) and we'll send you a photo and name of one of the animals here at the shelter right now. You can ask people to sponsor your walk in honor of your mascot. If...no when they get adopted we'll send you the update and you can either continue raising funds in celebration of your mascot or we'll give you a new one!
 
Mascots are first come, first served so start that walk team today and send us an email asking for your mascot!
