Alliston Humane Society Woof Walk brings canines together for a fun day
The Alliston & District Humane Society held its annual fundraising Woof Walk on Saturday, June 7, and celebrated a good turnout of people and their pets who had the opportunity to walk the trails around the property. This year featured a lot more vendors and a pet sport area where dogs could test their jumping and coordination skills. There was also a free barbecue with food donated by local grocery stores. 'Every year it's gotten bigger and bigger,' said Tania Perrier, the Human Society's outreach coordinator, of the Woof Walk. 'Our supporters are so amazing; they always show up for it. Last year we made $27,000, and we're definitely going to break that record this year. It's really amazing – the community that we have that helps us. Zehrs donated food, and we have a photographer here who is doing pet photography.' The event got underway with registration at 11 a.m. followed by the walk. You didn't have to bring a dog with you to enjoy the event. Everyone was welcome. 'This is our annual Woof Walk and it's a big fundraiser for us,' explained shelter president Jane Clarke. 'The funds raised go toward the medical care of the animals. It pays the vet bills. We had a walk with all these gods. People register online or they come out here with funds and visit the vendors and have some food. We have 52 acres here. We have a one-kilometre walk and a two-kilometre walk. We've had people come without a dog and they pet all the dogs when they're here.' The Humane Society has been a very busy place. Currently, it is at capacity with abandoned and surrendered dogs, cats, and other small animals. The Woof Walk had already raised $25,000 through online pledges before the walk and it is expected they will reach close to $30,000 on the day of the walkthrough donations. The funds will all be used to help care for the animals at the shelter. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.
