10th Annual MSPCA Walk for Animals

Day for the dogs Walk for Animals, activities planned by local MSPCA

On Sunday, September 13th, from 11am to 2pm, animal lovers of all ages will be walking statewide, taking part in the Walk for Animals - with or without their favorite canine companions. And for the tenth year in a row, the local MSPCA in Centerville hosts its Walk in downtown Hyannis.
The mile and a half long route for the walk will meander through downtown Hyannis, beginning and ending at Aselton Park, where family-friendly activities, contests, and refreshments will be available.

"The Walk for Animals is a fun way for us to celebrate the companion animals in our lives and it's a great opportunity for animal lovers to give back to an organization that cares for and finds responsible homes for so many homeless animals in our community every year," said Juli Sanborn, manager of the Centerville Animal Care and Adoption Center

Participants in the Walk can register as an individual or as a team. Registration is $25 and includes a Walk for Animals T-shirt. Prizes are awarded for those who raise over $300 in pledges. To register online, visit www.walkforanimals.com, or visit the MSPCA in Centerville.

On-site entertainment will include: raffles, prizes, food, contests, microchipping, behavior demonstrations, agility, kid's corner activities, crafts, music and more!

Annually, the adoption center cares for more than one thousand animals, without any financial support from state or federal agencies.
