After the 5K, the Whisker Walk took place along the boardwalk and finished up in front of the main stage at the Harbor. No times were kept for the walk; it was for the opportunity to support the shelter.
There was an agility course for dogs to try out. Food to eat, music to enjoy, a doggy day spa to pamper, excellent pet vendors to shop, and children’s activates to play. A great family day all in support of our four-legged friends.
