Walk for the Animals!
A heartfelt welcome to all!

Take a walk on the wild side and join us at The Grateful Dog Walk. Grab your leashes, lace up your sneakers, form a ‘dog or puppy  pack,’ and don’t forget your favorite fur-clad buddy! Central Pennsylvania Animal Alliance is excited to host our third Grateful Dog Walk. The Walk, part of CPAA’s WoofStock Festival is scheduled at Riverfront Park, Harrisburg, Pa. for Sunday, September 28 at 10am. Last years Walk was a blast and the donations collected greatly benefited CPAA’s “DeSex in the City” Spay Neuter Program, and CPAA member organizations.

The Walk is a leisurely stroll near the beautiful Susquehanna River through Harrisburg’s Riverfront Park. The Walk will begin on the City Island side of the Walnut Street walking bridge. Participants will circle City Island, cross the Walnut Street walking bridge, go toward the Harrisburg Hospital, then turn around and enjoy the scenery of Riverfront Park while making their way back to Kunkel Plaza where WoofStock will HOWL at 11am!  Water stations will be available along the route for all participants, with fur or without!

Don’t go around with your tail between your legs… if you’re dog-less you can still hound your friends, family and co-workers to make a donation to this great cause. Take part in the walk and possibly fall in love with an adoptable pooch from one of the rescues or shelters attending.

Participants who choose to leave their paw prints on the entire route will finish at Kunkel Plaza and help kick off WoofStock, CPAA's version of a doggie love in, at 11am. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and relax with your best friend. Listen to some good ole' rock n' roll or get down to tunes from some of Pa's grooviest bands and acoustics performers. Enter your pooch in the Funkytown Pet Costume contest, check out the wonderful homeless pets making their debut in the ‘Rescue Me Rockin’ Mutt Strut’ or just enjoy the day!

All donations gathered at The Grateful Dog Walk and WoofStock benefit member organizations and CPAA’s Spay/Neuter and Vaccine Program and HOPE Dogs Program. The registration fee alone won’t make the walk a success.  Check out the groovy prizes and download a pledge form now.  Email  gratefuldogwalk@msn.com or  call (717)564-7592 to get a form by snail mail, and start sniffing around and fetching donations today!
