Here is an article from the Humane Society Newsletter:

Paws in the Park is a HUGE success!
Thank you for helping us hit our $100,000 fundraising goal!

Our Paws in the Park dog walk on Sunday, March 28, was a BIG win for the animals at the Escondido Humane Society!

Paws in the Park 2010 was our best walk to date in every way. An estimated 1,600 people and their canine companions - the best walk turnout on record - helped us exceed our $100,000 fundraising goal, and funds are still rolling in! Every dollar will help care for the 424 animals currently at the shelter, as well as the thousands more who are
expected to come through our doors this year.

The great news is that our fundraising pages will stay open for another month, so you can help us raise even more funds for animals who truly
need it the most. Click HERE to donate today.

Everyone in attendance was treated to a beautiful morning at Kit Carson Park that included entertainment, a K-9's Got Talent Show, a wet T-shirt
contest for the dogs, pet confidence-building course, raffle and Paw
vendor expo, which boasted more than 35 vendors. Special guests
included Tamilee Webb of the "Buns of Steel" series, who took everyone
through a walk warm-up, and Paws in the Park 2010 Spokespet Boo.

Carlsbad resident Madeline Beccari and her wirehaired Dachshund, Rocket, took home the first-place prize in the doggie wet T-shirt contest. The most
talented pooch was a chocolate Labrador retriever named Bear. His
singing skills won him and his owner, Tommy Miller of Scripps Ranch,
the top prize in the K-9's Got Talent show.

To everyone who helped at Paws in the Park - including volunteers, vendors, sponsors, walkers (and their dogs), and all who donated -
thank you! Even if you do not personally meet the animals currently at
the Escondido Humane Society, please know that they are here, and that
their lives are better because of your generosity!
