As 2009 comes to a close, it's a good opportunity to reflect on all of the animals we saved and lives we touched. While there are too many successes to list here, there are a few stories that really stand out here at the Escondido Humane Society. Over the next week, we will list a few here on our blog. First up is Paws in the Park.
Paws in the Park
The year started off with a bang, as we held our Paws in the Park dog walk in March. It's safe to say that the event was a great success! We raised more than $90,000 and had our biggest turnout in recent years, with about 1,200 people and their dogs coming out to help us raise funds for our animals. All in attendance were treated to a day of fun and entertainment, including a wet T-shirt contest – which was a hit with everyone – and a walk warm-up with Tamilee Webb, creator of the “Buns of Steel” series.
2009 isn't even over yet, but we are already planning for next year's Paws in the Park, which will be held on March 28. Registration opens on Jan. 1 at www.firstgiving.com/ehs! Check our Web site (http://www.escondidohumanesociety.org/) for details as the event approaches.
Coming tomorrow: Special adoptions and some happy tails from 2009
