March for the animals in Druid Hill Park and make a Pledge
The March for the Animals is The Maryland SPCA’s largest annual fundraiser, attracting thousands and thousands of participants (along with their furry companions!) Featuring a 1.5 mile walk, pet costume contests and other activities, an agility course for dogs, obedience demos, a “flealess” market of pet-friendly vendors, adoptable animals from The Maryland SPCA and other local rescues, games, prizes and much, much more, the March for the Animals is fun for the whole family!
I’m Rojo! The Coolest Dog on the Block!
I am walking with my favorite person Debbi and all of my other animal friends Sunday, April 19th, 2009 9:00 A.M. Come on out for a fun day in the park.
This is my neighbor ROJO (RED) and we are asking that you go to the Maryland SPCA web page to make a donation because he is so cool. He protects the building and even brings in my recycling bin when he sees it on the sidewalk.
