		Krewe de Mutz Dog Walk 1–4 pm, Sunday, February 21 Meador Park, Seabrook
We have a great event coming up! Tell all your friends, family, co-workers, and acquaintances and ask them to sponsor your dog in the Mardi Gras Parade. Keep track of the amounts your sponsors are donating by using the attached form and bring it with you to the event. The more people who sponsor you and your dog, the more funds we will have to rescue more dogs and cats. Dress your dogs up and you can have matching outfits if you choose. There will be contests with wonderful prizes for the best costume and also for other categories. Gift certificates will be awarded to the 3 walkers with the most pledge money and those with $100+ pledges will be entered into the GRAND PRIZE drawing. We will have food and games for the dogs. Mardi gras beads will be thrown after the parade. Come and have fun outside with your pooch and other animal lovers. Registration is $15 if you have pledges from other people and $25 if you have no pledges. The parade is approximately 1/2 mile. It will start and finish at the pavilion at Meador Park. Please pick up after your animals. Water will be available for your dogs at the end of the walk. Those with pledge forms with $25 or more will receive free T Shirts (while supplies last) Dogs must be on a leash. Dogs who are not wearing current rabies tags, who are aggressive or in heat cannot participate. Download the pledge form here. For more information, email pets2adopt@yahoo.com or call 281-286-3535.
