The Lakeshore Humane Society will hold its 22nd Annual Pat McGee Memorial Dog Walk on Saturday, Oct. 3 at the Lakeshore Humane Society Adoption Center, 431 E. Chestnut St. in Dunkirk.
This event is named in honor of the late New York State Sen. Pat McGee who worked to fight animal cruelty and supported the Felony Animal Cruelty Law, also known as Buster’s Law. This activity is rain or shine. Dress-up your dog for this costume walk and contest (but all dogs are welcome to participate, even if not in costume)! There will also be doggie activities following the walk. Note that, unlike in recent past years, the Dog Walk will take place on Saturday.
Dog Walk check-in the day of the event begins at 10 a.m. The Walk begins at 10:30 a.m. Registration is $22. This includes a Dog Walk t-shirt and goodie bag. Pre-registration is strongly encouraged to ensure receiving a shirt. (Sept. 21 is the payment deadline to guarantee the choice of t-shirt size.) Registrations are considered as non-refundable donations to the Lakeshore Humane Society. Each dog must have a proper I.D. on a collar or be microchipped, be on a non-retractable leash at all times, and have an up-to-date rabies vaccination certificate to present at check-in.
For registration forms, come to Open Adoption Hours at the LHS Adoption Center Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from noon to 3 p.m., or go to the Shop page of the Lakeshore Humane Society website – lakeshorehumanesociety.org/shop.
All ages and members of the community are encouraged to take part in this fun event, while helping the efforts of the Lakeshore Humane Society.
