    Walk 'n Wag Explained

    Posted August 26, 2010

    This year, our 18th Annual Walk 'n Wag will be held September 18. Every year we get some questions about the event. We sat down with Dana Heifferon, Chairman of the Walk 'n Wag committee to answer some fre­quently asked questions.

     

    Q: What exactly is Walk 'n Wag?

    A: Walk 'n Wag is the Chemung County Humane Society and SPCA's primary fundraiser for the year. It is held each fall at a local park. Participants are en­couraged to form teams, collect pledges and walk to raise money for the SPCA.

     

    Q: When does this event start?

    A: Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the walk begins at 10 a.m.

    Q: Is there anything happen­ing before the event?

    A: Yes! We have vendors and demonstrations that begin at 9 a.m. and go throughout the walk. We also are happy to an­nounce that this year, 94 Rock will be broadcasting live at Walk 'n Wag. There will also be food provided by a local Boy Scout Troop.

     

    Q: Where do I get a pledge form?

    A: Pledge forms are available at the SPCA or online at www.chemungspca.org. You can also get pledges online and send requests to your friends by clicking here.

     

    Q: Do I have to get pledges, or can I just walk?

    A: You do not have to get pledges in order to walk. You can just come and walk to sup­port the SPCA and enjoy the great outdoors.

    Q: Do I need to bring my own dog?

    A: You don't need to bring your own dog. It is perfectly fine if you just want to come and walk for a good cause. However, par­ticipants are encouraged to bring their own friendly, vaccinated dogs on a leash. Please make sure that there is a responsible adult with the dog at all times and bring your own supplies to clean up after your dog as a courtesy to other walkers.

     

    Q: Will there be shelter dogs there for me to walk?

    A: Dogs from the shelter will also be onsite to be walked by participants who have been through the shelter's dog walk­ing class. If you would like to walk one of our dogs at the event, please contact Liz Sowell at 607-732-1827, ext. 210 to set up a dog walking orientation.

    If you have any other questions, please contact Cindy Lewis-Black at 607-732-1827, Ext. 212, develop@chemungspca.org.
