Shapin’ Up for Nevada Humane Society’s Walk for Animals
It’s hot. We know this. But in just over a month we expect you, your dog and your dog’s friends to be joining us for the annual Walk for Animals, which means right now you’re getting in shape for this, right? Despite the heat?
We’re not going to lie. Though our fundraiser entails a fun walk, a leisurely, lazy, stroll around the Sparks Marina, it still requires energy and exercise, because even though most of us are not considering this a race, people (and their dogs) are still going to make this a competition, to see who can make it around the Sparks Marina first, who can raise the most money, and whose dog looks the cutest in a t-shirt. And if you’re not preparing for this now, well, you better jump on it.

Nevada Humane Society’s Walk for Animals is in just over a month, on Saturday, August 12. People are encouraged now to register online and begin fundraising for the walk because the day of is going to be all about the fun-filled cause of helping homeless pets, and of course, accepting your awesome donations. And though you may have to practice now in the heat, we’ve asked the weather gods for some cooler weather for the big event, plus the addition of things like kiddie pools and maybe even water balloons or squirt guns.
Anyway, we really want this to be a success and it’s easy to participate. You register online (or in person the week of— those details to follow much later), raise funds by asking family and friends to donate to you and then you present us with the funds and enjoy the big day! The Walk of course is the biggest piece of the event, but we’ll also have vendors, food trucks, entertainment, pet adoptions and so much more. The big day is Saturday, August 12 from 10am to 2pm with the Walk starting promptly at 11am. Leashed, friendly dogs are welcome, and we also expect to see a few other animals in tow.
The other really cool thing? Not, not cool like the opposite of heat but cool like awesome. We’re selling $25 raffle tickets and the winning ticket gets a brand new, 2017, shiny and white, Toyota Corolla, thanks to our sponsor Dick Campagni’s Carson City Toyota.
They donated the car for YOU to win but you have to purchase the $25 raffle ticket. Seriously. $25 to win a new car? Yes, please! Tickets are available in person at either one of our shelters (2825 Longley Lane in Reno or 549 Airport Road in Carson), at the Toyota dealer in Carson, or via phone to 775-856-2000 ext. 320. And of course you can get them at the event and see the car in person!
So register online today to help our homeless pets. Then brave the heat, start training for the Walk, and ask for those donations… because if everyone comes together to make a difference, we’ll have one splashy impact on our little furry friends.
