Registration is now open for the 15th Annual Paws in the Park dog walk and festival, one of the largest dog walks in the DC area. Registration Open Now for Paws in the Park. The fun-filled afternoon includes a 1-mile walk, pet games, demos, rescue groups, a“flealess” market with over 50 pet-friendly vendors, food, music and more.

 

As a signature special event of the Montgomery County Humane Society, held in partnership with the City of Gaithersburg, it raises funds to help homeless and abandoned animals throughout Montgomery County – everything from dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs, to reptiles, birds and others.

 

Make a difference in the animals’ lives as well as assist the people who love them. Programs include life-saving medical care, off-site adoption events, animal rescue, pet retention and pet bereavement workshops, foster homes, humane education, behavior advice, affordable spay/neuter, and a network of approximately 200 partnering rescue groups.

 

Registered walkers are encouraged to invite friends to support them through online donations. To register and start fundraising online, visit www.firstgiving.com/mchsmd. 

Participants can also register on-site the day of the event.
