Paws In The Park

On Sunday, March 25, the Escondido Humane Society’s 13th annual Paws in the Park will raise funds and awareness for homeless and abandoned animals. Festivities will begin with registration and a meet and greet at 8am at Kit Carson Park. Walkers and their canine companions will then embark on a 1.5- or 2.5-mile course. The post-walk celebration includes a “Canine Couture” fashion show, giveaways, games for people and pets, a pet confidence-building course, and vendor expo. Heather Myers of San Diego 6 will serve as master of ceremonies. Registration is free, and all walkers will receive incentive prizes based on dollars raised.
