Heart & Sole Walk for the Animals


 

        

Heart & Sole Walk A Huge Success!

What a fantastic day we had out at Glen Park! We'd like to sincerely thank everyone who came out to support the Potter League. It was great seeing our old friends, Potter adoptees, new friends and all the wonderful dogs!

Thanks to your overwhelming support, we have raised more than $77,000 for the animals! To view photos from photographer Laura Kozlowski, click here.  Kevin MacIntyre click here. Visit us on Facebook and share your walk photos! View a 2 minute video of the walk here! Bow Wow!


If you did not make the walk, there is still time to help us reach our goal of $81,000 to help homeless pets. You can still sponsor a walker of make a donation here! Our online fundraising site will remain active until August 6. You can also donate directly on our website.   


Event Day was a Howling Good Time! 

Animal lovers and their pets participated in the Pet Contests, challenged their skills in Agility and Doggie-O, and maneuvered their way through the obstacle course - all before a 1 or 3 mile walk!

Over 500 people registered for the walk, including 44 teams, and 205 created a fundraising page. We received 650 online donations in advance of the walk! 
This was a record!

Several individuals and teams raised TOP DOG DOLLARS and received great prizes!  Photos to be posted shortly!
