Registrants receive prizes, which vary depending on the amount of pledges submitted.
The event also includes musical entertainment, sponsor booths, lunch, and prize presentations. Walkers can be shorten the trip at any time by turning around and returning to the shelter. The Animal Humane Society is hoping to expand its current facility by 35,000 square feet. The expanded shelter will include a surgery center for spaying and neutering all adopted animals, a behavior center, an expanded cruelty investigation unit, a new education center, and a new volunteer area. Information about the 2002 Walk for Animals will be posted as soon as it becomes available.
