About the Event

Love those 4-legged friends of ours? Have a soft spot for rescue animals? Or just want to get some exercise? This event is for you!

If you do bring your 4-legged friend along, you must adhere to the following guidelines:

o          You are responsible for the actions of your dog. 

o          Dogs must be leashed at all times. 

o          Leashes must not exceed 8 feet.
