Doggie Dash is Oct. 30

October 30, is the day that dogs and their owners can take a 5K walk to benefit less fortunate animals. Doggie Dash is the second annual event sponsored by the Georgia Heartland Humane Society.

The event is at Shakerag Park in Peachtree City.

Registration for the 3.1 mile walk begins at 9 a.m. with the walk beginning at 10 a.m.

Dogs that are at least three months old and on a leash may walk with the owners. All dogs must have proof of rabies vaccinations and be in good physical condition.

Donations are requested for this fund-raising event. Donors contributing $35 will receive a “Doggie Dash” commemorative tee shirt.

Walkers may raise money by collecting pledges from friends and family.
