Pet Palooza, our largest annual fundraiser, will take place (rain or shine) on Saturday, May 5th 2012 at Independence Park (E. 7th Street & Hawthorne Lane) from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm in Charlotte, NC. The event attracts over 2,000 participants who enjoy the Kennelly 5K run, a 1K dog walk, refreshments, entertainment, and a vendor fair. The annual fido fashion show is always a huge hit, with HSC "alumni" pets strutting their stuff on the runway.
Last year's event helped us raise $110,000 to continue our mission, which is improving the lives of companion animals through adoption, spay/neuter and community education.
With your help, we hope Pet Palooza 2012 will be even better!
