Fiesta Pooch Parade

The Delta Society

April 25, 8 a.m.-noon, Alamo Heights Swimming Pool, 250 Viesca

Calling all pooches!!! Come to a howling good time … walking, sniffing, and otherwise cavorting with fellow pooches … Oh, bring your humans, too!!! The Delta Society of San Antonio proudly presents its 11th annual Fiesta Pooch Parade! If you love your dog, this event is for you! Dog lovers from all over the San Antonio area will bring their best friends to this family oriented event, which benefits local community programs. Wind your way through the lovely tree-lined streets of Alamo Heights in this 5K (3-mile) sure-to-be-pleasing, tail-wagging route. Come early for special exhibits and educational presentations that you and your furry friend can enjoy! Does your pooch like to “dress up”? Then the ever- popular, ever-growing “Canine Costume Contest” is for you—come early for that!!

The Delta Society of San Antonio is a nationally based, nonprofit, all volunteer organization. Our mission statement of “bringing people and animals together for healing” is exemplified in our volunteer visits to more than 80 health care facilities touching the lives of local children, teenagers, adults and senior citizens. Our Animal Ambassador teams (more than 100 volunteers and their pets) spread joy and cheer through personal visits at health care facilities, educational presentations to local groups and tutoring of school age children to improve their reading skills. All money raised from the Fiesta Pooch Parade remains in the local area to directly support these programs.

Dress up your dog, costume your kids, decorate your kids’ wagon, wear your sombrero, or just come in your comfy walking shoes, and show your Fiesta Spirit! Dogs just want to have fun, too!
