Online registration is $20 for adults and $10 for children ages 5 to 17. Onsite registration is $5 more per person. Dogs always walk for free. Registration includes a T-shirt for every walker and a bandana for dogs. Participants are encouraged to ask friends and family to sponsor their walk, contributing dollars that will directly benefit the animals. Though not a requirement, DAWS asks registrants to set a goal of raising $100 for the walk. To register for the walk and establish an online giving page, visit daws.org/event/29th-annual-walk-for-animals. For information about sponsorship opportunities, contact Stephanie Barksdale at 203-744-3297 or e-mail stephanie.barksdale@daws.org.

About the Danbury Animal Welfare Society

Founded in 1974, DAWS is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit animal welfare organization, the largest of its kind in western Connecticut. DAWS operates a no-kill shelter at 147 Grassy Plain Street in Bethel, each year helping hundreds of homeless dogs and cats find their forever home. Last year, DAWS adopted out more than 800 animals, a record for the group. DAWS operates a vet clinic, which allows it to offer the community very low-cost spay/neuter services, and DAWS proactively educates pet owners about the important, crucial role spaying/neutering plays in directly improving animal welfare.
