A Great Time for Everyone

Annabelle gives a cart ride to two Woof Walk participants

Saturday October 4th was HART's Woof Walk at millennium park. We were there to show our support and to provide some fun for all of the participants. As a HART volunteer as well as the co-founder of Newf Friends Newfoundland Dog Rescue I was in attendance with a few of my dogs, and several of my friends made the journey to Bancroft with their Newfs to help out for the day.

 

Annabelle was also in attendance and she took turns giving cart rides to some of the spectators as well. Fun was had by all and prizes we donated were given to the people who brought in the highest and second highest amount of pledges. It was a great day spent raising much needed funds for a great cause.

Brandy the Newfoundland Dog, awaiting her forever home

The day wouldn't be complete without Sparky the Pig!
